HTTP Post call URL Encoded field converting to File

Under taker 1

My requirement is : I get a HTTP POST call passing above data from source system.
The Data field is URL Encoded format data we receive. I need to decode this field and send it as a File.
The Filename should be FileName_Timestamp_ID

Pls guide me how to achieve it

{
 "FileName" : "test.txt",
 "Timestamp": "2019-02-22T10:10:10",
 "ID" : 181,
 "Data" : "URL-encoded format"

}

Hi @Under taker ,

Your question is not clear, can you tell us how to call the Http Post method? From server side or client side? It is better to share the relates code.

The Data field is URL Encoded format data we receive. I need to decode this field .

To decode the data, you could try to use the WebUtility.UrlDecode method or HttpUtility.UrlDecode Method from the server side, or use the JavaScript decodeURI() function from the client side.

send it as a File

Do you mean write the data to a file? If that is the case, you can refer How to: Write text to a file. After that you can send this file.

Http Post method from Client side.

I have to Decode from URL-encoded format -> for HttpUtility.UrlDecode is there any namespace that I need to add ?

For writing to File I tried below,

var FileDrop = @"C:\PersonalFolder\Test"; File.WriteAllText(FileDrop, Data);

Hi @Under taker ,

To use the HttpUtility.UrlDecode method, we need to add the System.Web namespace.
You can refer the following code:

        string url = "my test.asp?name=ståle&car=saab";  
        var encoded = System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode(url);  //result: my+test.asp%3fname%3dst%c3%a5le%26car%3dsaab  
        var decoded = System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlDecode(encoded);  //result: my test.asp?name=ståle&car=saab

The result like this:
