using System.Net.Http;

using System.Net.Http.Headers;

Uri uri = new Uri(url);

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

client.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromDays(1);

client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("charset", "UTF-8");

client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("User-Agent", userAgent);

HttpContent content = new StringContent("{}", Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");

HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsync(uri, content);

if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)

{

return await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

}
