WEB API consuming in MVC is throwing an error?

Hi All,

I have a question in WEB Api consuming in MVC is throwing an error, like "Time outs are not supported on this stream"

public async Task InsertVendorDetails(Vendor V)
{
Session["UserId"] = "1001";
if (V.FirstName != null && V.LastName != null && V.MobileNo != null && V.UserName != null && V.Address != null && V.IDProof != null && V.EmailId != null && V.Password != null)
{
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.BaseAddress = new Uri(Baseurl);
//client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
V.CreatedBy = Session["UserId"].ToString();
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsJsonAsync("NewVendorRegistration", V);
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode == true)
{
var vendorresponse = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
var StatusCode = JObject.Parse(vendorresponse)["StatusCode"].ToString();
if (StatusCode == "1")
{
return RedirectToAction("GetVendor", "SmartParkingApplication");
}
else
{
var Response = JObject.Parse(vendorresponse)["Response"].ToString();
ModelState.AddModelError(string.Empty, Response.ToString());
}
}
else
{
ModelState.AddModelError(string.Empty, "Server Error.Please contact administrator.");
}
return View();
}
return View();
}

At Line no : 12

while running in postman it's consuming correctly but in mvc it's not running.

If there's a solution please let me know it as soon as possible.

Hi,
I am assuming the user information inserted into your own database instead of other third party service (API handling by customer or other vendor ).I think to handle the image in a proper way while posting into the database. May be it's creating some issue in the memory stream. Try to save the data without using image object ? If it is working then handle the stream correct way in C#.

Also verify the content type like octet stream or application json.

You need to provide content-type: application/json. So line number 8 uncomment it and then check. Thanks.
