POST using AddBody()

[jcpowermac]

Hello,

I am new to RestSharp and having an issue. I am able to deserialize
but when I try to send a firewall configuration back the Content
variable is "" and the ErrorMessage is "Root element is missing". Any
help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

It really depends on what is being returned back on your POST request. Can you check to make sure that the raw response for request is what you're expecting?

It looks like its choking on the response on your POST request.
