Asp.net web Api源码分析-HttpResponseMessage

紧接着上文 Asp.net web Api源码分析-Action的执行 我们的Action已经执行完毕，现在需要把Action的返回结果转化为HttpResponseMessage 实例，我们也知道转化工作主要在HttpRequestMessage的CreateResponse附加方法中，

  public static HttpResponseMessage CreateResponse<T>(this HttpRequestMessage request, HttpStatusCode statusCode, T value, HttpConfiguration configuration)
        {
            if (request == null)
            {
                throw Error.ArgumentNull("request");
            }

            configuration = configuration ?? request.GetConfiguration();
            if (configuration == null)
            {
                throw Error.InvalidOperation(SRResources.HttpRequestMessageExtensions_NoConfiguration);
            }

            IContentNegotiator contentNegotiator = configuration.Services.GetContentNegotiator();
            if (contentNegotiator == null)
            {
                throw Error.InvalidOperation(SRResources.HttpRequestMessageExtensions_NoContentNegotiator, typeof(IContentNegotiator).FullName);
            }

            IEnumerable<MediaTypeFormatter> formatters = configuration.Formatters;

            // Run content negotiation
            ContentNegotiationResult result = contentNegotiator.Negotiate(typeof(T), request, formatters);

            if (result == null)
            {
                // no result from content negotiation indicates that 406 should be sent.
                return new HttpResponseMessage
                {
                    StatusCode = HttpStatusCode.NotAcceptable,
                    RequestMessage = request,
                };
            }
            else
            {
                MediaTypeHeaderValue mediaType = result.MediaType;
                return new HttpResponseMessage
                {
                    // At this point mediaType should be a cloned value (the content negotiator is responsible for returning a new copy)
                    Content = new ObjectContent<T>(value, result.Formatter, mediaType),
                    StatusCode = statusCode,
                    RequestMessage = request
                };
            }
        }

首先这里需要一个IContentNegotiator实例，这里有这么一句代码：

  IContentNegotiator contentNegotiator = configuration.Services.GetContentNegotiator();在DefaultServices中有   SetSingle<IContentNegotiator>(new DefaultContentNegotiator());这句，我们知道默认的contentNegotiator是DefaultContentNegotiator实例。DefaultContentNegotiator构造函数也比较普通，这里我们还需要一个数据的格式化Formatters&
