Receive, send file over Web Api from Mvc project to webapi u

Receive, send file over Web Api from Mvc project to webapi using json. I have 2 different project 1 is Mvc and another one is webapi project. In mvc project here i choose the file.

[HttpPost]
public async Task TestFileUpload(HttpPostedFileBase file)
{
string fName = "";
string _documentname = String.Empty;
try
{
foreach (string fileName in Request.Files)
{
var files = Request.Files[fileName];
//Save file content goes here
fName = file.FileName;
if (file != null && file.ContentLength > 0)
{
var client = new HttpClient();
string _url = _urlApi + "/test/document";
var response = await client.PostAsJsonAsync(_url,"");
var result = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
//var _userin = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject();
string ErrorMsg = String.Empty;
return Json(true, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

so how can i send Request.Files to webapi controller.??

Here is the webapi controller to save the file through blobstroage.

[HttpPost]
[Route("test/document")]
public HttpResponseMessage testdocument()
{
//Save document into Blob storage
CloudBlobClient blobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
// Retrieve a reference to a container.
CloudBlobContainer container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("Members");
// Create the container if it doesn't already exist.
container.CreateIfNotExists();
container.SetPermissions(new BlobContainerPermissions { PublicAccess = BlobContainerPublicAccessType.Blob });
// Retrieve reference to a blob named "myblob".
CloudBlockBlob blockBlob = container.GetBlockBlobReference(Doc.UserCode);
// Create or overwrite the "myblob" blob with contents from a local file.
blockBlob.Properties.ContentType = Doc.fileStream.ContentType;
blockBlob.UploadFromStreamAsync(Doc.fileStream.InputStream);
//blockBlob.UploadFromStream(Doc.fileStream);
// blockBlob.s
string imageFullPath = blockBlob.Uri.ToString();
//Return New UserID
return this.Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, true);
return this.Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, true);
}

So how can i send the file in webapi??
