[Solved] Streaming large file across multiple layers

by


Found the solution by using HttpClient instead of RestSharp library for downloading the content directly to browser

The code snippet is as below

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
var fileName = Path.GetFileName(filePath);
var fileDowloadURL = $"API URL";

var stream = await client.GetStreamAsync(fileDowloadURL).ConfigureAwait(false);
// note that at this point stream only contains the header the body content is not read

return new FileStreamResult(stream, "application/octet-stream")
{
    FileDownloadName = fileName
};
