Binary payloads?

[dazinator]

I had a look at the samples but I couldn't see any example of sending a cloud event over http as a binary payload, and also receiving a cloud event, with mvc model binding in play, from a binary payload rather than json. Is it just the case that support is there and it's missing an example, or is it yet to be worked on? I would be keen to compare payload difference with binary format vs json for example.

It would be useful to stick to a single question per issue, otherwise we end up with "half-answered" issues.

#148 covers the fact that there are some aspects which could be simpler - but it's still fairly easy to make an HTTP request with a CloudEvent:

// Note that the event formatter has less to do when it comes to binary mode than structured mode,
// but formatters document how they serialize various kinds of payload data.
var content = cloudEvent.ToHttpContent(ContentModel.Binary, new JsonEventFormatter());
var httpClient = new HttpClient();
var result = await httpClient.PostAsync(uri, content);

For receiving an event, there's no MVC model binding, but given a request it's easy to extract an event using the extensoin methods in CloudNative.CloudEvents.AspNetCore.

Understood. Please also understand though I have only asked a single question, as identified by the solitary question mark in the issue text! Here is the singular question from the issue text just for clarity:

Is it just the case that support is there and it's missing an example, or is it yet to be worked on?

I feel the answer based on your response above is "support is there and it's missing an example" however I appreciate perhaps my question wasn't as clear and concise as it could be.

Thank you for your response, I will close this.
