I am trying to use HttpClient's PostAsync to login to a website; However it always fails and when I tracked the connection using WireShark I found that it posts the data incorrectly
var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(new[]
{
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("value1", data1),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("value2", data2),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("value3", data3)
});
or
var content = new List<KeyValuePair<string, string>>
{
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("value1", data1),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("value2", data2),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("value3", data3)
};
usage
httpClient.PostAsync(postUri, content)
value1=123456&value2=123456&value3=123456
//It adds strange += which makes the post fail...
value1=123456&value2+=123456&value3+=123456
I Know this works:
var values = new List<KeyValuePair<string, string>>();
values.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, string>("Item1", "Value1"));
values.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, string>("Item2", "Value2"));
values.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, string>("Item3", "Value3"));
using (var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(values))
{
client.PostAsync(postUri, content).Result)
}
Trim the parameters for possible whitespaces. Whitespaces result in a +
var content = new List<KeyValuePair<string, string>>
{
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("value1", data1.Trim()),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("value2", data2.Trim()),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("value3", data3.Trim())
};
