如何将我的Webclient转换为发送Post请求而不是Get请求

Question

I am working on an asp.net mvc-5 web application. and I have the following WebClient which will send a Get request as follow:-

using (WebClient wc = new WebClient())
            {
                string url = currentURL+ "home/scanserver?FQDN=allscan";
                wc.Headers.Add("Authorization", token);
                var json =wc.DownloadStringTaskAsync(url);
               TempData["messagePartial"] = string.Format("Scan has been completed. Scan reported generated");

            }

so can anyone advice how I can force my webclient to send Post request instead of Get request, while sending the same token (inside the request header) + FQDN parameter ?

Answer 1

Use UploadStringTaskAsync instead of DownloadStringTaskAsync .

   var url = currentURL+ "home/scanserver";
   wc.Headers.Add("Authorization", token);
   var json =wc.UploadStringTaskAsync(url, "FQDN=allscan");

NOTE that json is a Task<string> not a string . Are you sure that you want to use async behaviour?
