client.DeleteAsync - include object in body

问题

I have an ASP.NET MVC 5 website - in C# client code I am using HttpClient.PutAsJsonAsync(path, myObject) fine to call a Json API (the API is also mine created in Web API).

client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://mydomain");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
var response = await client.PutAsJsonAsync("api/something", myObj);

I would like to do the same with a Delete verb. However client.DeleteAsync does not allow an object to be passed in the body. (I would like to record the reason for deletion alongside the Id of the item to delete in the URI).

Is there a way to do this?

回答1:

You'll have to give up a little in terms of convenience since the higher-level DeleteAsync doesn't support a body, but it's still pretty straightforward to do it the "long way":

var request = new HttpRequestMessage {
    Method = HttpMethod.Delete,
    RequestUri = new Uri("http://mydomain/api/something"),
    Content = new StringContent(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(myObj), Encoding.UTF8, "application/json")
};
var response = await client.SendAsync(request);
