I would like to return a 422 Response from my API which includes as much of the data model that I can. I've created a method in our BaseRepository where we pass in the data, and an optional message, to return as a 422.

protected IHttpActionResult Create422Response<TData>(

    TData data,

    string message = "Resource validation failed."

)

{

    var response = new ResponseObject<TData>(data)

    {

        Status = "Failure",

        Message = message

    };



    return Content((HttpStatusCode)422, response);

}

On the client side, I'm catching the response like so:

var response = await _orderApiClient.ShowOrderForApproval(id);



if (response.StatusCode == (HttpStatusCode)422)

{

    Logger.LogWarning(response.Content);

    var responseJson = JObject.Parse(response.Content);

    ProcessValidationErrorsFromResponse(response);

}

When I look at the value of response.Content, I see that the JSON is truncated.

If I pass the same data object through an OK response it works.

protected IHttpActionResult CreateOkResponse<TData>(TData data, string message = "Call was successful")

{

    var response = new ResponseObject<TData>(data)

    {

        Status = "Success",

        Message = message

    };

    return Ok(response);

}

Why would the 422 truncate the data? Could there be something else going on?

UPDATE:
Here's what ShowOrderForApproval does:

    public async Task<IRestResponse> ShowOrderForApproval(int id)

    {

        var request = new RestRequest("/api/orders/{id}/approve/")

        {

            Method = Method.GET,

            RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json

        };

        request.AddUrlSegment("id", id.ToString());

        return await RsClient.SendRequestAsync(request, new HttpContextWrapper(HttpContext.Current));

    }

RsClient.SendRequestAsync is:

    public static Task<IRestResponse> SendRequestAsync(RestRequest request, HttpContextBase context)

    {

        if (_client == null)

        {

            _client = Connect();

        }



        //If null, this is coming from the CI API and we've stored the value in the originating request header

        if (context.Session == null)

        {

            var authHeaderValue = context.Request.Headers["Authorization"];

            request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + authHeaderValue);

        }

        else

        {

            var sessionTokenName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SessionTokenName"];

            request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + context.Session[sessionTokenName]);

        }           



        return Task.FromResult(_client.Execute(request));

    }

Update 2:
Okay, more updates. Using Postman I can get all the data with a 422. Our RsClient is using RestSharp.
