Good day

I want to return a response body but my code is only returning a Status message. Please help

static async Task PostURI(Uri u, HttpContent c)

{

var response = string.Empty;

using (var client = new HttpClient())

{

HttpResponseMessage result = await client.PostAsync(u, c);

if (result.IsSuccessStatusCode)

{

response = result.StatusCode.ToString();

}

return response;

}

Uri u = new Uri("URL");

var payload = results;

HttpContent c = new StringContent(payload, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");

var t = Task.Run(() => PostURI(u, c));

t.Wait();

Console.WriteLine(t.Result);

Console.ReadLine();

Put a breakpoint at that line and check. Status as well.

From your code also just see result object, then you will be able to solve it

var result = response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK ? await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync() : String.Empty;

@Mithun I'm getting an error on response.Content.
Please assist.

As per your code analysis, I found that you are returning only "result.StatusCode.ToString();" this will return the only status code of the response.

Please check if the following code will help you to resolve your problem.

Return the "HttpResponseMessage" object Or "return Request.CreateResponse();" as follow.
[HttpGet]

public HttpResponseMessage GetStudent(int id)

{

   //HttpResponseMessage response = new HttpResponseMessage();

   //response.Content = new StringContent("This is HttpResponse's Content");

   HttpResponseMessage response = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, lstStudents.FirstOrDefault(s => s.Id == id));

   return response;

}

Example-2: To verify the result
public HttpResponseMessage GetStudent()

{

        // return Request.CreateResponse();

}

its because of this line, its setting statuscode as response
response = result.StatusCode.ToString();

You should write like this

var result = response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK ? await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync() : String.Empty;
