FilesRoutes.DownloadAsync Method (String, String) Revision Format .Net

Filip J.1

DownloadAsync specifies that its second argument is deprecated and you should specify the revision in the path.

How exactly do we specify the revision in the path?

Do we just append it to the very end of the path?

Is there a specific format we are supposed to use?

Apologies that isn't better documented! You would specify a rev in the path parameter like this: "rev:a1c10ce0dd78". That is, the string "rev:", followed by the rev value for the file and version you want.

So if I was doing a string concatenation, the format for the first parameter would look like this

First Parameter = (path to file) + rev: + (rev value)

ie: First Parameter = testfolder/file.docxrev:a1c10ce0dd78

Is this correct?

No, just the string "rev:a1c10ce0dd78" is sufficient to identify both the file and revision, so that's all you should supply.
