C#

Hi All,

I am doing c# web application for that I am using Rest api. I tried to pass url to the web api to get the response in that response I have the content of xml data. I am able to receive that, but when tried to send that data to the server side to copy that data using PostAsync I am getting problem can any one help me I am trying from many days but I am unable to fix this problem.

please go through my code and give me the response. Thanks in advance.

What I have tried:

<blockquote class="quote"><div class="op">Quote:</div>Here is my Client side code I am sending request.


 urlstring = @"api/home/CopyHotFolders?folderName=new&virtualPrName=FieryDemo print&isHotFolderEnabled=true";
   
    var response = client.GetAsync(urlstring).Result;
    if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
    {
        string data = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
    }


 here I am getting response "data" . that data I am trying to send request to the server  using below code. 


StringContent httpContent = new StringContent(data, Encoding.UTF8, "text/json");

var serverAddress2 = string.Format(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
"http://{0}/", serverIP + ":5555");

using (var client2 = new HttpClient())
{
    client2.BaseAddress = new Uri(serverAddress2);
    urlstring = @"api/home/CopyHotFolderToDestination?folderName=xyz&virtualPrName=FieryDemo print&IsDefault=true";
    
    HttpResponseMessage response2 = await client2.PostAsync(new Uri(urlstring, UriKind.Relative), httpContent);
    
    if (response2.IsSuccessStatusCode)
    {
        string data2 = await response2.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
    } 
    
           

// ...web api is like this...........


[AcceptVerbs("POST")]
[HttpPost]
[Route("api/home/{CopyHotFolderToDestination}")]

public HttpResponseMessage CopyHotFolderToDestination(string folderName, string virtualPrName, bool IsDefault)
{
    string xmlData;
    
    HttpResponse request = HttpContext.Current.Response;
    string httpContent =  Request.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
    
    xmlData = request.ToString();
    StringContent xmlvalue = new StringContent(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(xmlData), Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
    return new HttpResponseMessage()
    {
    Content = xmlvalue
    };                
}

I am getting response like this ."\"System.Web.HttpResponse\"" instead of my xmldata.
I need my xml data which I am sending to the server.</blockquote>
