Hi,

Avoid asking too many things with not much details and focus rather on a first point before moving to the next. So you are the PostAsJsonAsync extension method ?

You have also https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/aspnet/hh944689(v%3Dvs.118) ie PostAsXmlAsync. Depending on what you have done on the server side it should be the main if not the only change. Let's try to have an XML POST request to work maybe before moving to the next issue ?

You would have to change the content negotiation that the WebAPI was sending and that the HTTPClient is expecting.

Hi Guhananth,

You can refer to the following API and example request.

API action

public void Post([FromBody]TestObj value)
{
    //code logic here
}

TestObj class

public class TestObj
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }
}

Example request

            using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
            {
                var uri = new Uri("http://xxxx/api/values");
                var XML = "<TestObj><Name>TestUser</Name><Age>25</Age></TestObj>";
                var httpContent = new StringContent(XML, Encoding.UTF8, "text/xml");
                var response = await httpClient.PostAsync(uri, httpContent);
            }

Test Result

With Regards,
