How to get the Stream of a file from a Request object using "Request.Content.ReadAsStreamAsync()"

ReadAsStreamAsync-Example.cs

#region TEST "Request.Content.ReadAsStreamAsync()"

var provider = new MultipartMemoryStreamProvider();

await Request.Content.ReadAsMultipartAsync(provider);

foreach (var item in provider.Contents.Where(item => item.Headers.ContentDisposition.FileName != null))
{
    Stream streamRead = await item.ReadAsStreamAsync();

    // Read the next chunk from file and upload it (no verify)
    long offset = 0;
    FileStream streamWrite = File.Create(@"C:\SERVER_FILES\" + item.Headers.ContentDisposition.FileName.Replace("\"", string.Empty));

    while (streamRead.Position < streamRead.Length) // TODO: COULD USE IT FOR THE FILE SIZE
    {
        var nextChunkSize = Math.Min(1024, (int) (streamRead.Length - offset));
        var data = new byte[nextChunkSize];

        streamRead.Read(data, 0, nextChunkSize);
        streamWrite.Write(data, 0, nextChunkSize);

        offset += nextChunkSize;
    }

    streamRead.Close();
    streamWrite.Close();
}
