How to return file from ASP.net 5 web api

used IActionResult instead of HttpResponseMessage. And returned FileStreamResult, and got it working.

Got a new problem, the file is not the one I open with the stream from server. But will create a new question for that.

This is the "low-level" HTTP approach, which should work with both ASP.NET WebAPI or ASP.NET MVC.

[HttpGet]
public HttpResponseMessage Download()
{
  var fs = new FileStream(myfileInfo.FullName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read, 32768, true);
  var response = new HttpResponseMessage {
    Content = new StreamContent(fs);
  }
  response.Content.Headers.ContentDisposition = new ContentDispositionHeaderValue("attachment");
  response.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/octet-stream");
  return response;
}
