Problem adding http headers in UWP app

Question

So, I'm attempting to build a UWP application. Now, I'm trying to send HTTP(s) requests to a remote server with which I'm faced with issues adding HTTP headers "Content-Type". I have tried to use method HttpRequestMessage.Headers but in vain. 

Can anyone help me out here?

Answer 1

httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("<type>"));

this ought to do the trick for you.

Good Luck!
