WebClient on WP7 - Throw "A request with this method cannot have a request body"
- by Peter Hansen
If I execute this code in a Consoleapp it works fine:
string uriString = "http://url.com/api/v1.0/d/" + Username + "/some?amount=3&offset=0";
WebClient wc = new WebClient();
wc.Headers["Content-Type"] = "application/json";
wc.Headers["Authorization"] = AuthString.Replace("\\", "");
string responseArrayKvitteringer = wc.DownloadString(uriString);
Console.WriteLine(responseArrayKvitteringer);
But if I move the code to my WP7 project like this:
string uriString = "http://url.com/api/v1.0/d/" + Username + "/some?amount=3&offset=0";
WebClient wc = new WebClient();
wc.Headers["Content-Type"] = "application/json";
wc.Headers["Authorization"] = AuthString.Replace("\\", "");
wc.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(wc_DownloadStringCompleted);
wc.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri(uriString));
void wc_DownloadStringCompleted(object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.Result);
}
I got the exception: A request with this method cannot have a request body.
Why?
The solution is to remove the Content-type:
string uriString = "http://url.com/api/v1.0/d/" + Username + "/some?amount=3&offset=0";
WebClient wc = new WebClient();
//wc.Headers["Content-Type"] = "application/json";
wc.Headers["Authorization"] = AuthString.Replace("\\", "");
wc.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(wc_DownloadStringCompleted);
wc.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri(uriString));
void wc_DownloadStringCompleted(object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.Result);
}
