CSharp - 如何使用 HTTP 请求和 Multipart 作为 Content-Type 上传图像

Question

I am using C# 4.7.2 and am using a Console and not WinForms. I am trying to get an input of a user's image path then send a post request to a ShareX Image Hoster API.

How can I keep it plain and simple using void ? EX:

public static void UploadImg(string ImagePath, string UploadAPI, string UploadKey) { }

ShareX Config:

{
    "Version": "13.2.1",
    "Name": "host",
    "DestinationType": "ImageUploader",
    "RequestMethod": "POST",
    "RequestURL": "https://ADDRESS/upload",
    "Headers": {
        "token": "name_RANDOMSTRING",
        "json": "true"
    },
    "Body": "MultipartFormData",
    "Arguments": {
        "imgfile": null
    },
    "FileFormName": "imgfile",
    "URL": "$json:url$"
}

Capturing traffic with Fiddler I can use these headers:

POST https://IMAGEHOST/api/upload HTTP/1.1
token: SPECIALKEY
json: true
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=--------------------8d8ee229124e662
User-Agent: ShareX/13.4.0
Host: IMGHOSTER
Content-Length: 7518
Connection: Keep-Alive

----------------------8d8ee229124e662
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="imgfile"; filename="851TO25E8.png"
Content-Type: image/png

Then the rest after these headers is unknown ascii bytes nonsense.

The response is:

{"url":"https://FinalShortenedURL/‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​"}

UPDATE -.Net 4.7.2

public static async Task UploadImg(string ImagePath, string UploadAPI, string UploadKey)
{
    using (var client = new System.Net.Http.HttpClient())
    {
        // TODO: implement auth - this example works for bearer tokens:
        // client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", UploadKey);
        // Or you could use simple headers:
        client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("token", UploadKey);
        // inject the JSON header... and others if you need them
        client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("json", "true");

        var uri = new System.Uri(UploadAPI);

        // Load the file:
        var file = new System.IO.FileInfo(ImagePath);
        if (!file.Exists)
            throw new ArgumentException($"Unable to access file at: {ImagePath}", nameof(ImagePath));

        using (var stream = file.OpenRead())
        {
            var multipartContent = new System.Net.Http.MultipartFormDataContent();
            multipartContent.Add(
                new System.Net.Http.StreamContent(stream),
                "imgfile", // this is the name of FormData field
                file.Name);

            System.Net.Http.HttpRequestMessage request = new System.Net.Http.HttpRequestMessage(System.Net.Http.HttpMethod.Post, uri);
            request.Content = multipartContent;
            var response = await client.SendAsync(request);
            response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode(); // this throws an exception on non HTTP success codes
        }
    }
}

The following is the original posted solution for.Net Core to upload using multi-part:

    public static async Task UploadImg(string ImagePath, string UploadAPI, string UploadKey)
    {
        using (var client = new Windows.Web.Http.HttpClient())
        {
            // TODO: implement auth - this example works for bearer tokens:
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new Windows.Web.Http.Headers.HttpCredentialsHeaderValue("Bearer", UploadKey);
            // Or you could use simple headers:
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("token", UploadKey);

            // Load the file:
            StorageFile file = await StorageFile.GetFileFromPathAsync(ImagePath);

            var uri = new System.Uri(UploadAPI);

            HttpMultipartFormDataContent multipartContent = new HttpMultipartFormDataContent();

            multipartContent.Add(
                new HttpStreamContent(stream),
                "imgfile", // this is the name of FormData field
                file.Name);

            Windows.Web.Http.HttpRequestMessage request = new Windows.Web.Http.HttpRequestMessage(Windows.Web.Http.HttpMethod.Post, uri);
            request.Content = multipartContent;
            var response = await client.SendRequestAsync(request);
            response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode(); // this throws an exception on non HTTP success codes
        }
    }

The process is similar in.Net framework, except that you can use System.IO for file operations.
