public static async Task<string> GetData(string url, string data)
{
UriBuilder fullUri = new UriBuilder(url);
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(data))
fullUri.Query = data;
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsync(new Uri(url), /*expects HttpContent*/);
response.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json");
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
string responseBody = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
return responseBody;
}
The PostAsync
takes another parameter that needs to be HttpContent
.
How do I set up an HttpContent
? There Is no documentation anywhere that works for Windows Phone 8.
If I do GetAsync
, it works great! but it needs to be POST with the content of key="bla", something="yay"
//EDIT
Thanks so much for the answer... This works well, but still a few unsures here:
public static async Task<string> GetData(string url, string data)
{
data = "test=something";
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
StringContent queryString = new StringContent(data);
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsync(new Uri(url), queryString );
//response.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json");
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
string responseBody = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
return responseBody;
}
The data "test=something" I assumed would pick up on the api side as post data "test", evidently it does not. On another matter, I may need to post entire objects/arrays through post data, so I assume json will be best to do so. Any thoughts on how I get post data through?
Perhaps something like:
class SomeSubData
{
public string line1 { get; set; }
public string line2 { get; set; }
}
class PostData
{
public string test { get; set; }
public SomeSubData lines { get; set; }
}
PostData data = new PostData {
test = "something",
lines = new SomeSubData {
line1 = "a line",
line2 = "a second line"
}
}
StringContent queryString = new StringContent(data); // But obviously that won't work
This is answered in some of the answers to Can't find how to use HttpContent as well as in this blog post.
In summary, you can't directly set up an instance of HttpContent
because it is an abstract class. You need to use one the classes derived from it depending on your need. Most likely StringContent
, which lets you set the string value of the response, the encoding, and the media type in the constructor. See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.http.stringcontent.aspx
To add to Preston's answer, here's the complete list of the HttpContent
derived classes available in the standard library:

There's also a supposed ObjectContent
but I was unable to find it in ASP.NET Core
.
Of course, you could skip the whole HttpContent
thing all together with Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client
extensions (you'll have to do an import to get it to work in ASP.NET Core for now: https://github.com/aspnet/Home/issues/1558) and then you can do things like:
var response = await client.PostAsJsonAsync("AddNewArticle", new Post
{
Title = "New Article Title",
Body = "New Article Body"
});
