我试图设置一个HttpClient对象的Content-Type头作为我调用的API所要求的。

我试着像下面这样设置内容类型:

using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
{
    httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://example.com/");
    httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Accept", "application/json");
    httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Content-Type", "application/json");
    // ...
}

它允许我添加Accept头,但当我尝试添加Content-Type时,它会抛出以下异常:

误用头名称。确保请求头与一起使用 HttpRequestMessage,带有HttpResponseMessage的响应头,以及 内容头与HttpContent对象。

如何在HttpClient请求中设置内容类型报头?


当前回答

内容类型是内容的头,而不是请求的头,这就是失败的原因。Robert Levy建议的AddWithoutValidation可以工作,但是你也可以在创建请求内容本身时设置内容类型(注意,代码片段在两个地方添加了application/json - Accept和content - type头):

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://example.com/");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders
      .Accept
      .Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));//ACCEPT header

HttpRequestMessage request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, "relativeAddress");
request.Content = new StringContent("{\"name\":\"John Doe\",\"age\":33}",
                                    Encoding.UTF8, 
                                    "application/json");//CONTENT-TYPE header

client.SendAsync(request)
      .ContinueWith(responseTask =>
      {
          Console.WriteLine("Response: {0}", responseTask.Result);
      });

其他回答

我发现下面的方法最简单易懂:

async Task SendPostRequest()
{
    HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
    var requestContent = new StringContent(<content>);
    requestContent.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json");
    var response = await client.PostAsync(<url>, requestContent);
    var responseString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
}
...

SendPostRequest().Wait();

如果你不介意一个小的库依赖,Flurl。Http[披露:我是作者]使这个超级简单。它的PostJsonAsync方法负责序列化内容和设置内容类型报头,而ReceiveJson则反序列化响应。如果accept头是必需的,你需要自己设置,但Flurl提供了一个非常干净的方式来做到这一点:

using Flurl.Http;

var result = await "http://example.com/"
    .WithHeader("Accept", "application/json")
    .PostJsonAsync(new { ... })
    .ReceiveJson<TResult>();

Flurl使用HttpClient和Json。它是一个PCL,所以它可以在各种平台上工作。

PM> Install-Package Flurl.Http
var content = new JsonContent();
content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json");
content.Headers.ContentType.Parameters.Add(new NameValueHeaderValue("charset", "utf-8"));
content.Headers.ContentType.Parameters.Add(new NameValueHeaderValue("IEEE754Compatible", "true"));

这就是你所需要的。

使用Newtonsoft。Json,如果你需要一个内容为Json字符串。

public class JsonContent : HttpContent
   {
    private readonly MemoryStream _stream = new MemoryStream();
    ~JsonContent()
    {
        _stream.Dispose();
    }

    public JsonContent(object value)
    {
        Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json");
        using (var contexStream = new MemoryStream())
        using (var jw = new JsonTextWriter(new StreamWriter(contexStream)) { Formatting = Formatting.Indented })
        {
            var serializer = new JsonSerializer();
            serializer.Serialize(jw, value);
            jw.Flush();
            contexStream.Position = 0;
            contexStream.WriteTo(_stream);
        }
        _stream.Position = 0;

    }

    private JsonContent(string content)
    {
        Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json");
        using (var contexStream = new MemoryStream())
        using (var sw = new StreamWriter(contexStream))
        {
            sw.Write(content);
            sw.Flush();
            contexStream.Position = 0;
            contexStream.WriteTo(_stream);
        }
        _stream.Position = 0;
    }

    protected override Task SerializeToStreamAsync(Stream stream, TransportContext context)
    {
        return _stream.CopyToAsync(stream);
    }

    protected override bool TryComputeLength(out long length)
    {
        length = _stream.Length;
        return true;
    }

    public static HttpContent FromFile(string filepath)
    {
        var content = File.ReadAllText(filepath);
        return new JsonContent(content);
    }
    public string ToJsonString()
    {
        return Encoding.ASCII.GetString(_stream.GetBuffer(), 0, _stream.GetBuffer().Length).Trim();
    }
}

对于我的场景,第三方API正在创建HttpRequestMessage,因此我无法使用投票最多的答案来解决这个问题。我不喜欢干扰反射的想法所以其他答案也不成立。

相反,我从AndroidMessageHandler扩展,并使用这个新类作为HttpClient的参数。AndroidMessageHandler包含SendAsync方法,可以在HttpRequestMessage对象发送之前重写该方法。如果您没有访问Android Xamarin库的权限,您可以使用HttpMessageHandler来解决一些问题。

public class XamarinHttpMessageHandler : global::Xamarin.Android.Net.AndroidMessageHandler
{
    protected override Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        // Here I make check that I'm only modifying a specific request
        // and not all of them.
        if (request.RequestUri != null && request.RequestUri.AbsolutePath.EndsWith("download") && request.Content != null)
        {
            request.Content.Headers.Add("Content-Type", "text/plain");
        }
        return base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);
    }
}

然后使用:

var client = new HttpClient(new XamarinHttpMessageHandler());

你需要这样做:

    HttpContent httpContent = new StringContent(@"{ the json string }");
    httpContent.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json");
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));                
    HttpResponseMessage message = client.PostAsync(@"{url}", httpContent).Result;
