这是一个完整的JSON格式发送/接收数据的工作示例，我使用Visual Studio 2013 Express Edition:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.OleDb;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Web.Script.Serialization;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Customer
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string Address { get; set; }
        public string Phone { get; set; }
    }

    public class Program
    {
        private static readonly HttpClient _Client = new HttpClient();
        private static JavaScriptSerializer _Serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Run().Wait();
        }

        static async Task Run()
        {
            string url = "http://www.example.com/api/Customer";
            Customer cust = new Customer() { Name = "Example Customer", Address = "Some example address", Phone = "Some phone number" };
            var json = _Serializer.Serialize(cust);
            var response = await Request(HttpMethod.Post, url, json, new Dictionary<string, string>());
            string responseText = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

            List<YourCustomClassModel> serializedResult = _Serializer.Deserialize<List<YourCustomClassModel>>(responseText);

            Console.WriteLine(responseText);
            Console.ReadLine();
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Makes an async HTTP Request
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="pMethod">Those methods you know: GET, POST, HEAD, etc...</param>
        /// <param name="pUrl">Very predictable...</param>
        /// <param name="pJsonContent">String data to POST on the server</param>
        /// <param name="pHeaders">If you use some kind of Authorization you should use this</param>
        /// <returns></returns>
        static async Task<HttpResponseMessage> Request(HttpMethod pMethod, string pUrl, string pJsonContent, Dictionary<string, string> pHeaders)
        {
            var httpRequestMessage = new HttpRequestMessage();
            httpRequestMessage.Method = pMethod;
            httpRequestMessage.RequestUri = new Uri(pUrl);
            foreach (var head in pHeaders)
            {
                httpRequestMessage.Headers.Add(head.Key, head.Value);
            }
            switch (pMethod.Method)
            {
                case "POST":
                    HttpContent httpContent = new StringContent(pJsonContent, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
                    httpRequestMessage.Content = httpContent;
                    break;

            }

            return await _Client.SendAsync(httpRequestMessage);
        }
    }
}

当使用Windows.Web.Http命名空间时，对于POST而不是FormUrlEncodedContent，我们编写HttpFormUrlEncodedContent。同样，响应类型为HttpResponseMessage。其余的就像Evan Mulawski写的那样。

如果你喜欢一个流畅的API，你可以使用Tiny.RestClient。在NuGet上可以买到。

var client = new TinyRestClient(new HttpClient(), "http://MyAPI.com/api");
// POST
var city = new City() { Name = "Paris", Country = "France" };
// With content
var response = await client.PostRequest("City", city)
                           .ExecuteAsync<bool>();

为什么这不是完全无关紧要的?执行请求并不是处理结果。而且似乎还涉及到一些。net Bug——参见HttpClient中的Bug。GetAsync应该抛出WebException，而不是TaskCanceledException

我最终得到了这样的代码:

static async Task<(bool Success, WebExceptionStatus WebExceptionStatus, HttpStatusCode? HttpStatusCode, string ResponseAsString)> HttpRequestAsync(HttpClient httpClient, string url, string postBuffer = null, CancellationTokenSource cts = null) {
    try {
        HttpResponseMessage resp = null;

        if (postBuffer is null) {
            resp = cts is null ? await httpClient.GetAsync(url) : await httpClient.GetAsync(url, cts.Token);

        } else {
            using (var httpContent = new StringContent(postBuffer)) {
                resp = cts is null ? await httpClient.PostAsync(url, httpContent) : await httpClient.PostAsync(url, httpContent, cts.Token);
            }
        }

        var respString = await resp.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
        return (resp.IsSuccessStatusCode, WebExceptionStatus.Success, resp.StatusCode, respString);

    } catch (WebException ex) {
        WebExceptionStatus status = ex.Status;
        if (status == WebExceptionStatus.ProtocolError) {
            // Get HttpWebResponse so that you can check the HTTP status code.
            using (HttpWebResponse httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)ex.Response) {
                return (false, status, httpResponse.StatusCode, httpResponse.StatusDescription);
            }
        } else {
            return (false, status, null, ex.ToString());
        }

    // https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/net-5-new-networking-improvements/
    } catch (TaskCanceledException ex) when (ex.InnerException is TimeoutException) {
        return (false, ex.ToString(), null, WebExceptionStatus.Timeout);

    } catch (TaskCanceledException ex) {
        return (false, ex.ToString(), null, WebExceptionStatus.RequestCanceled);

    } catch (Exception ex) {
        return (false, WebExceptionStatus.UnknownError, null, ex.ToString());
    }
}

这将根据postBuffer是否为空来执行GET或POST操作。

如果Success为true，响应将在ResponseAsString中。

如果Success为false，你可以检查WebExceptionStatus, HttpStatusCode和ResponseAsString，看看哪里出了问题。

在. net Core中，你可以用下面的代码进行POST调用。在这里，我为这段代码添加了一些额外的特性，这样您就可以让您的代码在代理后工作，如果有网络凭据的话。

在这里我还提到，您可以更改消息的编码。

HttpClient client = GetHttpClient(_config);

if (headers != null)
{
    foreach (var header in headers)
    {
        client.DefaultRequestHeaders.TryAddWithoutValidation(header.Key, header.Value);
    }
}

client.BaseAddress = new Uri(baseAddress);

Encoding encoding = Encoding.UTF8;

var result = await client.PostAsync(url, new StringContent(body, encoding, "application/json")).ConfigureAwait(false);
if (result.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
    return new RequestResponse { severity = "Success", httpResponse = result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result, StatusCode = result.StatusCode };
}
else
{
    return new RequestResponse { severity = "failure", httpResponse = result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result, StatusCode = result.StatusCode };
}


public HttpClient GetHttpClient(IConfiguration _config)
{
    bool ProxyEnable = Convert.ToBoolean(_config["GlobalSettings:ProxyEnable"]);

    HttpClient client = null;
    if (!ProxyEnable)
    {
        client = new HttpClient();
    }
    else
    {
        string ProxyURL = _config["GlobalSettings:ProxyURL"];
        string ProxyUserName = _config["GlobalSettings:ProxyUserName"];
        string ProxyPassword = _config["GlobalSettings:ProxyPassword"];
        string[] ExceptionURL = _config["GlobalSettings:ExceptionURL"].Split(';');
        bool BypassProxyOnLocal = Convert.ToBoolean(_config["GlobalSettings:BypassProxyOnLocal"]);
        bool UseDefaultCredentials = Convert.ToBoolean(_config["GlobalSettings:UseDefaultCredentials"]);

        WebProxy proxy = new WebProxy
        {
            Address = new Uri(ProxyURL),
            BypassProxyOnLocal = BypassProxyOnLocal,
            UseDefaultCredentials = UseDefaultCredentials,
            BypassList = ExceptionURL,
            Credentials = new NetworkCredential(ProxyUserName, ProxyPassword)
        };

        HttpClientHandler handler = new HttpClientHandler { Proxy = proxy };
        client = new HttpClient(handler, true);
    }
    return client;
}

如果需要POST JSON消息体，可以使用以下方法。假设您有一个名为m的类实例。

string jsonMessage = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(m);

// Make POST call
using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
{
    HttpRequestMessage requestMessage = new
    HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, "<url here>");
    requestMessage.Content = new StringContent(jsonMessage, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
    HttpResponseMessage response = client.SendAsync(requestMessage).Result;
    if (response.StatusCode == System.Net.HttpStatusCode.OK)
    {
        // Do something here
    }
}
