It will be more straightforward to use System.Net.Http.ByteArrayContent. E.g: // Converting byte[] into System.Net.Http.HttpContent. byte[] data = new byte[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; ByteArrayContent byteContent = new ByteArrayContent(data); HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsync(uri, byteContent); For text only with an specific text encoding use: // Convert string into System.Net.Http.HttpContent using UTF-8 encoding. StringContent stringContent … Read more
