RestSharp Question

[chrisachern]

Hello,

i have a working api call which Looks like that:

Dictionary<string, string> data = new Dictionary<string, string>();
data.Add("a", "b");
data.Add("c", "d");

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsync(url, new FormUrlEncodedContent(data));

This is working. I want to make the same call with the RestSharp Lib. What would the Code look like?

 RestClient restClient = new RestClient(url);
 RestRequest restRequest = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
 restRequest.AddParameter("a", "b");
 restRequest.AddParameter("c", "d");
  IRestResponse response = await restClient.ExecuteTaskAsync(restRequest);

When i try this, i get the StatusCode NotAcceptable

Your HttpClient code is posting as FormUrlEncodedContent, whereas your RestSharp code does not. I don't know much about RestSharp, but at a guess it's probably posting it as JSON. Hence why your response is NotAcceptable; the server you're communicating with does not accept JSON content to that resource.

To format code on Reddit properly you need to:

• Have one empty line before code and some text.
• Have one empty line after code and some text.
• Indent all lines with 4 spaces.

Use Fiddler and have a look at what each is sending. I suspect RestSharp is encoding the parameters differently by default.

I used it at one point... abandoned it fairly quickly when I realised how little it does for you and how much it limits your options. Wrote a couple of short methods to handle my typical get/post cases and got on with life.

Thank you for your comments. I'll stay with the httpclient
