Posted on by Sulav Thapaliya

Hello All,

I am trying to send data using an external API. It needs the data to be sent in header itself. When I am trying to send the data. I get error message as

Microsoft Dynamics NAV
---------------------------

A call to System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1[System.String].Result failed with this message: '"UTF-8"' is not a supported encoding name.
Parameter name: name
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks,

I used UTF8 encoding for this. Below is the code.

stringContent := stringContent.StringContent(data,encoding.UTF8,'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');

Here is the code for I am using for calling rest api HttpWebRequestMgt Codeunit great for this also if you want to deal with json you can use you can look at this blog post

https://dynamics.is/?p=2637

BodyPassword := STRSUBSTNO(bodyt,GlobApiKey);

Url := STRSUBSTNO('%1/token',BaseUrl);

HttpWebRequestMgt.Initialize(Url);

HttpWebRequestMgt.DisableUI;

HttpWebRequestMgt.SetMethod('POST');

HttpWebRequestMgt.SetContentType('application/json');

HttpWebRequestMgt.AddBodyAsAsciiText(BodyPassword);

TempBlob.INIT;

TempBlob.Blob.CREATEINSTREAM(Instr);

IF NOT HttpWebRequestMgt.GetResponse(Instr,HttpStatusCode,ResponseHeaders) THEN

HttpWebRequestMgt.ProcessFaultResponse('');

IF HttpStatusCode.ToString <> HttpStatusCode.OK.ToString THEN

ERROR('Connection Error');

Your code is sending charset correctly (charset=utf-8), it seems to be an error on API Response, surely the API is returning charset like this: charset=UTF8

When you execute ReadAsStringAsync it validates the charset name (UTF8) and then you get the error.

A workaround is to use ReadAsByteArrayAsync and parse the result.
