Question

我正在实现一个MVC4 + WebAPI version of the BluImp jQuery File Upload一切都适用于我最初的尝试，但我试图确保在下载非常大的文件（~2GB）时最好地使用内存。

我已经阅读Filip Woj's article on PushStreamContent并尽可能地实现它（删除异步部分 - 也许这就是问题？）。当我运行测试并观察TaskManager时，我没有看到明显不同的内存使用情况，我试图理解响应处理方式之间的区别。

这是我的StreamContent版本：

private HttpResponseMessage DownloadContentNonChunked()
{
    var filename = HttpContext.Current.Request["f"];
    var filePath = _storageRoot + filename;
    if (File.Exists(filePath))
    {
        HttpResponseMessage response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);
        response.Content = new StreamContent(new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read));
        response.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/octet-stream");
        response.Content.Headers.ContentDisposition = new ContentDispositionHeaderValue("attachment")
        {
            FileName = filename
        };
        return response;
    }
    return ControllerContext.Request.CreateErrorResponse(HttpStatusCode.NotFound, "");
}

这是我的PushStreamContent版本：

public class FileDownloadStream
{
    private readonly string _filename;

    public FileDownloadStream(string filePath)
    {
        _filename = filePath;
    }

    public void WriteToStream(Stream outputStream, HttpContent content, TransportContext context)
    {
        try
        {
            var buffer = new byte[4096];

            using (var video = File.Open(_filename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
            {
                var length = (int)video.Length;
                var bytesRead = 1;

                while (length > 0 && bytesRead > 0)
                {
                    bytesRead = video.Read(buffer, 0, Math.Min(length, buffer.Length));
                    outputStream.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
                    length -= bytesRead;
                }
            }
        }
        catch (HttpException ex)
        {
            return;
        }
        finally
        {
            outputStream.Close();
        }
    }
}

private HttpResponseMessage DownloadContentChunked()
{
    var filename = HttpContext.Current.Request["f"];
    var filePath = _storageRoot + filename;
    if (File.Exists(filePath))
    {
        var fileDownload = new FileDownloadStream(filePath);
        var response = Request.CreateResponse();
        response.Content = new PushStreamContent(fileDownload.WriteToStream, new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/octet-stream"));
        response.Content.Headers.ContentDisposition = new ContentDispositionHeaderValue("attachment")
        {
            FileName = filename
        };
        return response;
    }
    return ControllerContext.Request.CreateErrorResponse(HttpStatusCode.NotFound, "");
}

我的问题是为什么我没有看到两种方法之间的内存使用量有太大差异？另外，我已经为StreamContent类型下载了PDB，并且可以看到对缓冲区大小等的引用（见下文），所以我想知道PushStreamContent在StreamContent上面做了什么。我已经检查了MSDN上的类型信息，但文章对解释有点了解！

namespace System.Net.Http
{
  /// <summary>
  /// Provides HTTP content based on a stream.
  /// </summary>
  [__DynamicallyInvokable]
  public class StreamContent : HttpContent
  {
    private Stream content;
    private int bufferSize;
    private bool contentConsumed;
    private long start;
    private const int defaultBufferSize = 4096;

    /// <summary>
    /// Creates a new instance of the <see cref="T:System.Net.Http.StreamContent"/> class.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="content">The content used to initialize the <see cref="T:System.Net.Http.StreamContent"/>.</param>
    [__DynamicallyInvokable]
    [TargetedPatchingOptOut("Performance critical to inline this type of method across NGen image boundaries")]
    public StreamContent(Stream content)
      : this(content, 4096)
    {
    }

关于这两种方法的内存使用情况，对于StreamContent和PushStreamContent，Web API不会缓冲响应。以下代码快照来自WebHostBufferPolicySelector。源代码here。

    /// <summary>
    /// Determines whether the host should buffer the <see cref="HttpResponseMessage"/> entity body.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="response">The <see cref="HttpResponseMessage"/>response for which to determine
    /// whether host output buffering should be used for the response entity body.</param>
    /// <returns><c>true</c> if buffering should be used; otherwise a streamed response should be used.</returns>
    public virtual bool UseBufferedOutputStream(HttpResponseMessage response)
    {
        if (response == null)
        {
            throw Error.ArgumentNull("response");
        }

        // Any HttpContent that knows its length is presumably already buffered internally.
        HttpContent content = response.Content;
        if (content != null)
        {
            long? contentLength = content.Headers.ContentLength;
            if (contentLength.HasValue && contentLength.Value >= 0)
            {
                return false;
            }

            // Content length is null or -1 (meaning not known).  
            // Buffer any HttpContent except StreamContent and PushStreamContent
            return !(content is StreamContent || content is PushStreamContent);
        }

        return false;
    }

PushStreamContent也适用于需要将数据“推送”到流中的情况，其中StreamContent从流中“提取”数据。因此，对于您当前的下载文件的场景，使用StreamContent应该没问题。

以下示例：

// Here when the response is being written out the data is pulled from the file to the destination(network) stream
response.Content = new StreamContent(File.OpenRead(filePath));

// Here we create a push stream content so that we can use XDocument.Save to push data to the destination(network) stream
XDocument xDoc = XDocument.Load("Sample.xml", LoadOptions.None);
PushStreamContent xDocContent = new PushStreamContent(
(stream, content, context) =>
{
     // After save we close the stream to signal that we are done writing.
     xDoc.Save(stream);
     stream.Close();
},
"application/xml");

WebAPI StreamContent vs PushStreamContent
