HttpPost does not get ContentLength from PostAsync request

I have a unit test code that sends request to an HttpPost method.

[Test]
public async Task ValidateToken()
{
var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(new
{
new KeyValuePair<string, string("test", "test")
};
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/x-www-form-urlencoded"));
var response = await httpClient.PostAsync("/api/token/1", content);
Assert.AreEqual(HttpStatusCode.Accepted, response.StatusCode);
}

[Route("api/token")]
public class MyController : BaseApiController
{
private readonly HttpRequest httpRequest;
public MyController(IHttpContextAccessor httpContextAccessor)
{
httpRequest = httpContextAccessor.HttpContext.Request;
}

[HttpPost("{count}")]
public async Task<IActionResult> Post(int count)
{
if(httpRequest.ContentLength)
return BadRequest();
else
return Accepted();

var success= await store.SaveLogStreamAsync(httpRequest.Body, count);
return success ? Accepted() : InternalServerError();
}
}


This unit test always fails because httpRequest.ContentLength is null. However, when I put a breakpoint on this line and check the ContentLength of content, it is always greater than 0.

httpRequest.ContentLength

ContentLength

content

var response = await httpClient.PostAsync("/api/token/1", content);

var response = await httpClient.PostAsync("/api/token/1", content);

Also, when I put a breakpoint before it reaches the Action method, the ContentLength is not 0 anymore. I'm thinking, is there some delay when sending the content?

EDIT:

What I found out is that when testing this from a unit test, the httpRequest.Body is of type MemoryStream and httpRequest.ContentLength = null

httpRequest.Body

MemoryStream

httpRequest.ContentLength = null

When the request is sent from Postman, the httpRequest.Body is of type FrameRequestStream and httpRequest.ContentLength always has a value.

httpRequest.Body

FrameRequestStream

httpRequest.ContentLength

You can check the request by doing this:

var length= Request.Content.Headers.ContentLength ;


Dunno from where httpRequest variable is coming

httpRequest
