POWCF Service sends a .txt or .xls but not a .gz (Zipped file)

Body
copied!<p>I have a WCF service up and running which saves a file to my server. I have tested this by sending a <code>.txt</code> file and a <code>.xls</code> file. The size of the <code>.xls</code> file is 90kb. </p> <p>Now I have a zipped file <code>.gz</code> that is only 70KB in size but when trying to complete this operation I get </p> <blockquote> <p>The remote server returned an unexpected response: (400)<br> Bad Request.</p> </blockquote> <p>When I have tried to search for this Bad Request most results lead to the fact that a large file is being sent and that I need to change the settings in the config file.</p> <p>This is not the reason in my case as the <code>.gz</code> file is smaller than the <code>.xls</code> file!</p> <p>Does anyone have any idea why this type of file cannot be sent the same as a text or Excel file???</p> <p>Edit: Code Added</p> <p>Here is the method to call the service</p> <pre><code> string name = "New Doc"; string file = @"C:/Users/Admin/Desktop/fileZipped.gz"; string ext = file.Split('.')[1]; Stream stream = File.OpenRead(file); byte[] bytes = new byte[stream.Length]; stream.Read(bytes, 0, (int)stream.Length); stream.Close(); var uploadFileServiceClient = new UploadFileServiceClient(); uploadFileServiceClient.UploadFile(name, bytes, ext); </code></pre> <p>And here is my service:</p> <pre><code>[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)] public class UploadFileService : IUploadFileService { public bool UploadFile(string name, byte[] bytes, string extension) { string importDir = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["UploadFileDir"]; if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(importDir)) return false; if (!Directory.Exists(importDir)) return false; string outputFile = Path.Combine(importDir, Guid.NewGuid() + "." + extension); string filename = outputFile.Split('\\')[2]; using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(outputFile)) { sw.WriteLine(bytes); sw.Flush(); sw.Close(); } return true; } } </code></pre> <p>Like I say it works for text or Excel files.</p>
