The following request-header is generated from firebug on clicking a button on a webpage(the url doesn't change, so it is an ajax post request!). I would like to replicate this request using httpwebrequest in my C# program.

This is what I have tried so far but it results in Error 412 from the server. I have made sure that the post_data string is correct, but still it isn't working.
string post_data= "inputexForm=inputexForm&cat=senior&inputexForm%3aid=4174622&...addtab&AJAX%3AEVENTS_COUNT=1&javax.faces.partial.ajax=true";
httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://www.example.com/photography/homepage.jsf");
httpWebRequest.CookieContainer = cookieJar;
httpWebRequest.Referer = "https://www.example.com/photography/homepage.jsf";
httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8";
httpWebRequest.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0";
httpWebRequest.Accept = "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8";
httpWebRequest.KeepAlive = true;
httpWebRequest.Connection = "keepalive";
byte[] data = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(post_data);
httpWebRequest.ContentLength = data.Length;
using (var stream = httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream())
{
stream.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
stream.Close();
}
HttpWebResponse resp = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
webBrowser1.DocumentText = resp.ToString();
How can I send this ajax post request to the server using HttpWebRequest in C#?
