Set 'Content-Type' header using RestSharp
c#, http-headers, restsharp
Solution
The solution provided on my blog is not tested beyond version 1.02 of RestSharp. If you submit a comment on my answer with your specific issue with my solution, I can update it.
var client = new RestClient("http://www.example.com/where/else?key=value");
var request = new RestRequest();
request.Method = Method.POST;
request.AddHeader("Accept", "application/json");
request.Parameters.Clear();
request.AddParameter("application/json", strJSONContent, ParameterType.RequestBody);
var response = client.Execute(request);
Problem
I'm building a client for an RSS reading service. I'm using the RestSharp library to interact with their API. The API states: When creating or updating a record you must set `application/json;charset=utf-8` as the `Content-Type` header. This is what my code looks like: ``` RestRequest request = new RestRequest("/v2/starred_entries.json", Method.POST); request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8"); request.RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json; request.AddParameter("starred_entries", id); //Pass the request to the RestSharp client Messagebox.Show(rest.ExecuteAsPost(request, "POST").Content); ``` However; the service is returning an error Error 415: Please use the 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8' header Why isn't RestSharp passing the header?
