How to format request for POST in .NET












-2















I have a POST param like:



var requestJson = $@"{{""positionsQuery"":{{""positionDate"":[""{positionDate.Date:yyyyMMdd}""]}},""measures"":[""margin""]}}";


This produces so Fiddler shows it as



"{"positionsQuery":{"positionDate":["20181119"]},"measures":["margin"]}"


The request fails as a result. What I need to make is work is



{"positionsQuery":{"positionDate":["20181119"]},"measures":["margin"]}


Before this I tried `Json.Net'



        var request = new { PositionsQuery = new { PositionDate = new  { positionDate.Date.ToString("yyyyMMdd") } }, Measures = new  { "margin" }};
var requestJson = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(request, new JsonSerializerSettings
{
ContractResolver = new CamelCasePropertyNamesContractResolver()
});
var response = (await _httpClient.PostAsync(url, requestJson).ConfigureAwait(false));


Still the are there causing problem (Fiddler screenshot).

    the debugger will show it as an escaped string.

Don't manually build a JSON string. It's much cleaner to build the object and serialize it.



var requestJson = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(
new
{
positionsQuery = new
{
positionDate = positionDate.Date.ToString("yyyyMMdd")
},
measures = new {"margin"}
});

    What overload of PostAsync is that using? I don't see one that takes a string. It looks like it's serializing an already serialized string.
