I'm trying to set a Content-Type header in a c# HttpClient
request of "multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundaryaYcxA3wAp5XMUV2w"
.
So far I've tried using TryAddWithoutValidation
which does not throw any exception/error but when I watch the request in fiddler its just not added? See code below.
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.TryAddWithoutValidation("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundaryaYcxA3wAp5XMUV2w");
response = client.PostAsync("https://example.com", byteContent).Result;
I've also tried converting the byte array I'm trying to send to a string and using StringContent
but this throws an exception saying "multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundaryaYcxA3wAp5XMUV2w"
is invalid.
StringContent testStringcontent = new StringContent(Encoding.Default.GetString(allContentBytes), Encoding.UTF8, "multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundaryaYcxA3wAp5XMUV2w");
response = client.PostAsync("https://example.com", testStringcontent).Result;
I've tried all the similar questions suggestions and can't see to get any to send the header or not throw some sort of exception. Should I abandon this and use web client which I'm told is more flexible?
