How to send XML content with HttpClient.PostAsync?

Question

I am trying to fulfill this rest api:

public async Task AddTimetracking(Issue issue, int spentTime)
{
    // POST /rest/issue/{issue}/timetracking/wo         


        

Answer 1

You might want to set the mediaType in StringContent like below:

var httpContent = new StringContent(workItem.XDocument.ToString(), Encoding.UTF8, "application/xml");

Answer 2

You could use

var respone = await httpClient.PostAsXmlAsync(requestUri, workItem);
