How to return Continue Http status code in .NET Core WEB API?

Question

I'm having troubles setting 100 status code on response. I have tried the following way:

HttpContext.Response.StatusCode = 100;

but it does not work, server refused to answer. Does anybody faced similar issue?

Answer 1

Try using one of the Web API related action results in Controller to get the desired response.

//returns a response with specified status code
public IActionResult StatusCodeActionResult() {
    return StatusCode(100); //<-- StatusCodeResult
}

//returns a response with specified status code along with an object
public IActionResult StatusCodeWithObjectResult() {
    return StatusCode(100, new { Data = "HelloWorld" }); //<-- ObjectResult
}
