ContentLength missing in FileParameter

[glecchi]

The AddFile method with Writer Delegate param on RestRequest doesn't set the file ContentLength.
When Delegate write on Request stream throw a ProtocollViolationException (The number of bytes to be written to the stream exceeded Content-Length size specified) because file ContentLength is zero.

I met the same issue. Any one have update?

No one.. for the moment the only workaround i found is to set the ContentLength manually on the Request.

I guess since the method now requires to specify the length, this issue can be closed

public IRestRequest AddFile(string name, Action<Stream> writer, string fileName, long contentLength,  string contentType = null)

No, I am wrong, actually, you meant using AddFile(FileParameter p)

Ok, here is the thing. We give you an option to write directly to the request stream. How would you expect us to know the length of the data that you will be writing to it? There is a FileParameter.ContentLength property that you need to set and everything will work. The thing is that in reality, we must set the content length before writing to the request stream, especially valid for async calls. So, please, if it is a file, read the file size and set the file parameter length. I would even make the AddFile(FileParameter) method private, it seems to be misused.
