Try this:

    WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create("https://server-url-xxxx.com");
    req.Method = "POST";
    string json_value = jsonSerializer.Serialize(data); //Body data
    ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = false;
    using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(req.GetRequestStream()))
    {
        streamWriter.Write(json_value);
        streamWriter.Flush();
        streamWriter.Close();
    }
    HttpWebResponse resp = req.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse;
    Stream GETResponseStream = resp.GetResponseStream();
    StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(GETResponseStream);
    var response = sr.ReadToEnd(); //Response
    resp.Close(); //Close response
    sr.Close(); //Close StreamReader

And review the URI:

• Reserved characters. Send reserved characters by the URI can bring problems ! * ' ( ) ; : @ & = + $ , / ? # [ ]

• URI Length: You should not exceed 2000 characters
