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。

简单的GET请求

using System.Net;

...

using (var wb = new WebClient())
{
    var response = wb.DownloadString(url);
}

简单的POST请求

using System.Net;
using System.Collections.Specialized;

...

using (var wb = new WebClient())
{
    var data = new NameValueCollection();
    data["username"] = "myUser";
    data["password"] = "myPassword";

    var response = wb.UploadValues(url, "POST", data);
    string responseInString = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(response);
}

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>();

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);
        }
    }
}

这是一个HTTPS web请求的例子。可以在PHP脚本中回显任何结果。最后，PHP回显字符串将在c#客户端显示为警报。

string url = "https://mydomain.ir/test1.php";
StringBuilder postData = new StringBuilder();
postData.Append(String.Format("{0}={1}&", HttpUtility.HtmlEncode("username"), HttpUtility.HtmlEncode("ali")));
postData.Append(String.Format("{0}={1}", HttpUtility.HtmlEncode("password"), HttpUtility.HtmlEncode("123456789")));
StringContent myStringContent = new StringContent(postData.ToString(), Encoding.UTF8, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
HttpResponseMessage message = client.PostAsync(url, myStringContent).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
string responseContent = message.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult();

DisplayAlert("Your Feedback", responseContent, "OK");

PHP服务器端:

<?php
  if (isset($_POST["username"]) && $_POST["username"] == "ali") {
    echo "Yes, hi Ali";
  }
  else {
    echo "No, where is Ali?";
  }
?>

结果将是“Yes, hi Ali”。

这是为Xamarin形式。对于一个c# .NET应用程序，将DisplayAlert替换为:

MessageBox.show(responseContent);
