How to fix 400 Bad Request error?
<p>I'm getting a <em>The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request</em> error when trying to run my code. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.</p>

<pre><code>    // Open request and set post data
    HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("myurl.com/restservice/Login");
    request.Method = "POST";
    request.ContentType = "application/json; charset:utf-8";
    string postData = "{ \"username\": \"testname\" },{ \"password\": \"testpass\" }";

    // Write postData to request url
    using (Stream s = request.GetRequestStream())
    {
        using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(s))
            sw.Write(postData);
    }

    // Get response and read it
    using (Stream s = request.GetResponse().GetResponseStream()) // error happens here
    {
        using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(s))
        {
            var jsonData = sr.ReadToEnd();
        }
    }
</code></pre>

<p><strong>JSON EDIT</strong></p>

<p>Changed to:</p>

<pre><code>{ \"username\": \"croeder\", \"password\": \"welcome\" }
</code></pre>

<p>But still not working.</p>

<p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>

<p>This is what I found that works:</p>

<pre><code>       // Open request and set post data
    HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("myurl.com/restservice/Login");
    request.Method = "POST";
    request.ContentType = "application/json";
    string postData = "{ \"username\": \"testname\", \"password\": \"testpass\" }";

    // Set postData to byte type and set content length
    byte[] postBytes = System.Text.UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);
    request.ContentLength = postBytes.Length;

    // Write postBytes to request stream
    Stream s = request.GetRequestStream();
    s.Write(postBytes, 0, postBytes.Length);
    s.Close();

    // Get the reponse
    WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();

    // Status for debugging
    string ResponseStatus = (((HttpWebResponse)response).StatusDescription);

    // Get the content from server and read it from the stream
    s = response.GetResponseStream();
    StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(s);
    string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();

    // Clean up and close
    reader.Close();
    s.Close();
    response.Close();
</code></pre>
