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
    }
}

到目前为止，我找到了简单的解决方案(一行程序，没有错误检查，没有等待响应):

(new WebClient()).UploadStringAsync(new Uri(Address), dataString);‏

请谨慎使用!

还有另一种做法:

using (HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient())
using (MultipartFormDataContent form = new MultipartFormDataContent())
{
    form.Add(new StringContent(param1), "param1");
    form.Add(new StringContent(param2), "param2");
    using (HttpResponseMessage response = await httpClient.PostAsync(url, form))
    {
        response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
        string res = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
        return res;
    }
}

通过这种方式，您可以轻松地发布一个流。

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。

这里有一些非常好的答案。让我发布一种不同的方法来设置你的头部与WebClient()。我还将向您展示如何设置API键。

        var client = new WebClient();
        string credentials = Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(userName + ":" + passWord));
        client.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.Authorization] = $"Basic {credentials}";
        //If you have your data stored in an object serialize it into json to pass to the webclient with Newtonsoft's JsonConvert
        var encodedJson = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(newAccount);

        client.Headers.Add($"x-api-key:{ApiKey}");
        client.Headers.Add("Content-Type:application/json");
        try
        {
            var response = client.UploadString($"{apiurl}", encodedJson);
            //if you have a model to deserialize the json into Newtonsoft will help bind the data to the model, this is an extremely useful trick for GET calls when you have a lot of data, you can strongly type a model and dump it into an instance of that class.
            Response response1 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Response>(response);
