I am using HttpClient. I submit with the parameters of the web form. One of the values (not the name) is the foreign Swedish character ö, # 246; Ö ASCII: Latin small letter O Umlaut
In manual mode, IE, Firefox and Chrome convert this character to S% F6k, and everything works fine. However, VS 2012 C # version will convert it (via FormUrlEncodedContent (dict)) to% C3% B6
Is there a way to tell VS 2012 to convert it to a friendly S% F6k (and still use HttpClient)?
I have added most of the code that may help others (cookies, proxies, etc.)
var handler = new HttpClientHandler();
var cc = new CookieContainer();
handler.CookieContainer = cc;
WebProxy proxy = new WebProxy();
proxy.Address = new Uri("http://localhost:8888");
handler.Proxy = proxy;
var client = new HttpClient(handler);
var request4 = new HttpRequestMessage();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Clear();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Accept", "text/html, application/xhtml+xml, */*");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Accept-Encoding", "gzip, deflate");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Accept-Language", "en-US,en;q=0.8,sv-SE;q=0.5,sv;q=0.3");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; Trident/6.0)");
var dict4 = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
{ "page", "kantlista" },
{ "kod", "A0004n" },
{ "termin", "H12" },
{ "anmkod", "17113" },
{ "urval", "ant" },
{ "listVal", "namn" },
{ "method", "Sök" }
};
request4.Content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(dict4);
var value4 = new FormUrlEncodedContent(dict4);
string uri4 = "https://www.ltu.se/ideal/ListaKursant.do";
var response4 = await client.PostAsync(uri4, value4);
response4.Headers.Add("Cache-Control", "no-cache")
response4.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
string responseBody4 = await response4.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
Many thanks! Todd Booth
