Request

The request object is used to send to the server and can be configured to your liking.

Accept

The accept property lets you set the type of hypermedia you want from the response. The field is a string but for your convenience there are also a bunch of constants you can use in the HttpContentypes class.

You use it like this.

http.Request.Accept = HttpContentTypes.ApplicationJson;

or you can also just write.

http.Request.Accept = "application/json";

This will ask the response to encode it's contents as JSON.

Here are the other type in HttpContenttypes.

• MultiPartFormData = "multipart/form-data";
• TextPlain = "text/plain";
• TextHtml = "text/html";
• TextCsv = "text/csv";
• ApplicationJson = "application/json";
• ApplicationXml = "application/xml";
• ApplicationXWwwFormUrlEncoded = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
• ApplicationOctetStream = "application/octet-stream";
