Solid.Http.Extensions.SharpCompress Usage

Deserializing response content to an archive

Here is a small example on how to get a ZipArhive and read some of its contents. In this example we are going to call nuget.org. The nuget packages are zip files but do not have a zip ending so they do not have the default mimetype. Lets first start by setting up the startup class and then call the nuget enpoint from a controller.

    public class Startup
    {
        public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
        {
            _configuration = configuration;
        }

        public IConfiguration _configuration { get; }

        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services
                .AddSolidHttpCore()
                .AddSharpCompress(
                    new SharpCompressOptions(
                        mimeTypes: new List<string>()
                        {
                            "binary/octet-stream"
                        }
                    )
                );
            services.AddMvc();
        }

        public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
        {
            if (env.IsDevelopment())
            {
                app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
            }
        }
    }

Now lets call the nuget endpoint, get a ZipArchive and read the nuspec file

public class NuspecController : Controller
{
    private SolidHttpClient _client;
    public NuspecController(ISolidHttpClientFactory factory)
    {
        _client = factory.CreateWithBaseAddress("https://www.nuget.org");
    }
    [HttpGet]
    public async Task GetAsync(string packageName, string versionNumber)
    {
        var arch = await _client
            .GetAsync($"api/v2/package/{packageName}/{versionNumber}")
            .As<ZipArchive>();
        using (var estream = arch.Entries.Single(e => e.Key == $"{packageName}.nuspec").OpenEntryStream())
        using (var reader = new StreamReader(estream))
        {
            var nuspecContent = reader.ReadToEnd();
            return Content(nuspecContent, "application/xml");
        }
    }
}
