How to fix 415 Unsupported Media Type

Question

Hello,

I'm working on asp.net core 7 website with angular as front.

I have a form who contains data and files, so I sent it as multipart form-data, in local the forms works but once the website is deployed on Azure as app service I got an error :

{"type":"https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-6.5.13","title":"Unsupported Media Type","status":415,"traceId":"00-c3d5eb1b571a0222546e2172dec68cf6-2de4d4301e7c6b54-00"}

How I sent my data in angular :

 public publish(body: any) {     const formData = new FormData();     for (let key in body) {       if (key === "pictures") {         const files = body[key] as File[];         if (files?.length > 0) {           files.forEach((f, i) => formData.append(key, f));         } else {           formData.append(key, null);         }       } else {         formData.append(key, body[key]);       }     }        return this.http.post

Hi @Eddy Boughioul,

Welcome to Q&A, could you kindly check other apis, I mean something like /weatherforecast, you also could create one for test. I need to know it works or not? If it works and just that api returned 415 error.

We need the check the size of form-data in your request. Maybe it will lead to this error.

The default settings in Azure App Service might have a lower limit on request size or not be configured to handle multipart form-data requests by default. You can change it like below. Here is my Code sample.

            var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

            // Add services to the container.
            builder.Services.AddControllersWithViews();
            ...
            // Add this setting
            builder.Services.Configure<FormOptions>(options =>
            {
                options.MemoryBufferThreshold = int.MaxValue;
                options.MultipartBodyLengthLimit = int.MaxValue;
            });
            var app = builder.Build();

            // Configure the HTTP request pipeline.
            if (!app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
            {
                app.UseExceptionHandler("/Home/Error");
                // The default HSTS value is 30 days. You may want to change this for production scenarios, see https://aka.ms/aspnetcore-hsts.
                app.UseHsts();
            }

            app.UseHttpsRedirection();
            app.UseStaticFiles();
            // Add this middleware
            app.Use(async (context, next) =>
            {
                context.Request.EnableBuffering();
                await next();
            });

            app.UseRouting();

            app.UseAuthorization();

            app.MapControllerRoute(
                name: "default",
                pattern: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");

            app.Run();

If it still not works for you, could you create the minimal sample for us and please hide your sensitive information. Then we can help you to check the issue.

Best Regards
