Answer 1

I talked with the owner of the server/service. They are providing a brand new service, and the service is currently using a self-signed certificate. Until the server/service is using a real certificate that can be verified via a certificate authority, Im going to bypass certificate verification in my code:

            using (var httpClientHandler = new HttpClientHandler())
            {

                httpClientHandler.ServerCertificateCustomValidationCallback = (message, cert, chain, errors) => { return true; };
                using (var client = new HttpClient(httpClientHandler))
                {
                    try
                    {

                        client.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://test-org.com/");
