Post method call throwing internal server error

I am trying to call a POST method of Moosend API from my MVC application. The Post call is working fine from Postman but throwing error from controller.
The Code goes as below:
public async Task<ActionResult> CreateEmailList()
{
try
{
using (var httpClient = new HttpClient { BaseAddress = new Uri(Baseurl) })
{
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.TryAddWithoutValidation("Accept", "application/json");
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.TryAddWithoutValidation("Content-Type", "application/json");
using (var content = new StringContent("{ \"Name\": \"APIList\"}", System.Text.Encoding.Default, "application/json"))
{
using (var response = await httpClient.PostAsync("Mailing Lists/lists/create.json?apikey=0000", content))
{
string responseData = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
}
}
return View();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return View();
}
}
The Error I am getting is as below:
{StatusCode: 500, ReasonPhrase: 'Internal Server Error', Version: 1.1, Content: System.Net.Http.StreamContent, Headers:
{
X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow
X-Server-ID: 2

X-AspNet-Version: 4.0.30319
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
Content-Length: 5054

}}
Any suggestions on what am I missing here. Most of the POST example is similar to the code that I implemented.

HTTPS request to a oAuth2 Keycloak server return me 400 'Bad Request' in Xamarin

I'm translating a javascript code that works to a C# (Xamarin application). And I getback from the server 400 'Bad Request'
I would like to know if the code I wrote in C# is correct or I missing something.
JS code:
function requestTokens(code) {
var codeVerifier = document.getElementById("codeVerifierValue").innerHTML;
var data = {
"grant_type": "authorization_code",
"client_id": "clientid",
"code": code,
"code_verifier": codeVerifier,
"redirect_uri": "https://redirectUrl"
};
$.ajax({
beforeSend: function (request) {
request.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8");
},
url: "https://myUrl",
data: data,
success: responseFromPostRequest,
dataType: "json"
});
}
C# code:
private HttpClient _httpClient = new HttpClient();
private async Task<string> HttpPost(string url, DataDto data)
{
var jsonData = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data);
var content = new StringContent(jsonData, Encoding.UTF8, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
var response = await _httpClient.PostAsync(new Uri(url), content);
}
Thanks for your help
Updated for log response:
{StatusCode: 400, ReasonPhrase: 'Bad Request', Version: 1.1, Content: System.Net.Http.StreamContent, Headers:
{
Cache-Control: no-store
Connection: keep-alive
Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2021 17:37:43 GMT
Pragma: no-cache

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
Content-Length: 84
Content-Type: application/json
}}

So I found out that in the case of Content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded it should not be a JSON file to be pasted in the post request.
There is the code sniped I found :
public static async Task<TResult> PostFormUrlEncoded<TResult>(string url, IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, string>> postData)
{
using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
{
using (var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(postData))
{
content.Headers.Clear();
content.Headers.Add("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
HttpResponseMessage response = await httpClient.PostAsync(url, content);
return await response.Content.ReadAsAsync<TResult>();
}
}
}
With this it works perfectly

Jira API Help C# HttpClient

Okay, so I'm very new to using API's in code and I've been able to use a few that were actually pretty easy. But none of them required authentication. I've been trying to use Jira's REST API service via C#'s HttpClient class. See code below:
public void UpdateJiraIssue(string issueValue)
{
string url = $#"http://jira.mySite.com/rest/api/2/issue/{issueValue}/editmeta";
string jsonString = #"myNeatJsonData";
var content = new StringContent(jsonString, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
//Initialize Client
HttpClient apiClient = new HttpClient();
apiClient.BaseAddress = new System.Uri(url);
apiClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
byte[] cred = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("username:password");
apiClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", Convert.ToBase64String(cred));
apiClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
async Task RunJiraAPI()
{
using (HttpResponseMessage resp = await apiClient.PostAsync("editmeta", content))
{
if (resp.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
var jsonSring = await resp.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
}
}
}
RunJiraAPI();
return;
}
The problem I run into is that I get a 401 error (Authentication). Here's what my 'resp' object contains when I run the code:
resp: {StatusCode: 401, ReasonPhrase: ' ', Version: 1.1, Content: System.Net.Http.StreamContent, Headers:
{

Request Message: {Method: POST, RequestUri: 'https://jira.rhlan.com/rest/api/2/issue/RHD-1116/editmeta', Version: 1.1, Content: System.Net.Http.StringContent, Headers:
{
Authorization: Basic cWE6aGVjc29mdDEyMw==
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: Application/json; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 70
}}
Status Code: Unauthorized
I need to work on my json string a bit to get it working right (which is why I didn't include what it actually contains), but once I get passed the authentication error, I'll probably actually change things to do a get Jira issue via the API so I can see all the json data returned that way. Then I'll edit my json string accordingly.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

You can pass in credentials assuming you have a username and an api token.
string credentials= string.Format("{0}:{1}", username, apitoken);
byte[] byteCredentials = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(credentials);
And in your apiClient you can use it like this.
apiClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", Convert.ToBase64String(byteCredentials));

You need a username and api-token. Your api-token should be your login password.

Unauthorized access to REST API

I am having a big problem when trying to authenticate to QuickBlox's server using a Token.
The method I use is:
public static async Task<LoginResponse> GetLoginResponseAsync(string email, string password)
{
LoginResponse result = null;
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
string token = QbProvider.SessionResponse.Session.Token;
LoginRequest request = new LoginRequest()
{
Email = email,
Password = password
};
using (var requestMessage = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, LoginUrlRequest))
{
requestMessage.Headers.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("QB-Token", token);
using (var response = await client.SendAsync(requestMessage))
{
string json = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<LoginResponse>(json);
}
}
}
return result;
}
The server's response is:
{"errors":["Token is required"]}
And the headers (debugging) in the client object are:
{
StatusCode: 401, ReasonPhrase: 'Unauthorized', Version: 1.1, Content: System.Net.Http.StreamContent, Headers:
{
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Cache-Control: no-cache
Date: Thu, 01 Jun 2017 12:05:29 GMT
QuickBlox-REST-API-Version: 0.1.1
Server: openresty/1.9.15.1
Status: 401 Unauthorized
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000
WWW-Authenticate: OAuth realm=users
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN

X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 32
}
}
When I use the Token in Postman, the server's response is successfull.
Do you know what am I doing wrong?
Thank you so much in advance!
Regards.

Try adding your token header using requestMessage.Headers.Add("QB-Token", token) instead of your Authorization one – by #dukedukes

MultipartContent response in Web API

I want to have a possibility to return complex response for requests in Web API. For example I want to return stream with some complex object.
I tried to do it with MultipartFormDataContent:
public static HttpResponseMessage GetMultipartResponse<T>(T responseData, Stream streamToReturn)
{
return new HttpResponseMessage
{
Content = new MultipartContent
{
new StreamContent(streamToReturn),
new ObjectContent<T>(responseData, new JsonMediaTypeFormatter())
}
};
}
I've got a normal HttpResponseMessage on server side. I can see by debugger how my Web API method returns this response, but on the client side I've got an error:
StatusCode: 500, ReasonPhrase: 'Internal Server Error', Version: 1.1, Content: System.Net.Http.StreamContent, Headers:
{
Pragma: no-cache
X-SourceFiles: =?UTF-8?B?YzpcdXNlcnNccnVzdGFtX3NhbGFraHV0ZGlub3ZcZG9jdW1lbnRzXHZpc3VhbCBzdHVkaW8gMjAxM1xQcm9qZWN0c1xGaWxlU2VydmljZUFQSVxGaWxlU2VydmljZUFQSVxhcGlcZ2V0?=
Cache-Control: no-cache
Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2016 08:30:22 GMT
Server: Microsoft-IIS/8.0
X-AspNet-Version: 4.0.30319
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
Content-Length: 1444
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Expires: -1
}
There is no other exceptions on client or server side and i can't get some more information with turn on error detail:
config.IncludeErrorDetailPolicy = IncludeErrorDetailPolicy.Always;
UPDATE:
Try to read response on client side with:
var result = await response.Content.ReadAsMultipartAsync();
And got this exception:
Invalid 'HttpContent' instance provided. It does not have a content type header starting with 'multipart/'.
Where do I go wrong?
UPDATE 2:
I have normal response on the server side:
StatusCode: 200, ReasonPhrase: 'OK', Version: 1.1, Content: System.Net.Http.MultipartContent, Headers:
{
Content-Type: multipart/multipart; boundary="3e6d3573-9031-41a7-b7f4-d1421bc1451d"
}

I found the error. I return my multipart content inside using:
using (var stream = MyFileStream())
{
var respone = MultipartResponseHelper.GetMultipartResponse(response, stream, Request);
return respone;
}
So it returns right response, but then stream inside multipartContent will disposed which is the reason of problem.
