Make Https call using HttpClient

by

If the server only supports higher TLS version like TLS 1.2 only, it will still fail unless your client PC is configured to use higher TLS version by default. To overcome this problem, add the following in your code:

System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol |= SecurityProtocolType.Tls12 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls11 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls;

Modifying your code example, it would be

HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();   

//specify to use TLS 1.2 as default connection
System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol |= SecurityProtocolType.Tls12 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls11 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls;

httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://foobar.com/");
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/xml"));
    
var task = httpClient.PostAsXmlAsync<DeviceRequest>("api/SaveData", request);
