Testing multiple parameters web api c# - fiddler

Question

I need help.

I have a method: PostCustomer

HttpResponseMessage PostCustomer([FromBody] CustomerRec Logs, [FromBody] Customer customer)

Now my problem is how will I able to test this through fiddler

I know I need to call for example:

"//api/customer/PostCustomer"

But how will I pass parameters on this?
I'm testing this using fiddler.

Might I suggest the chrome plugin postman - fantastic tool for API testing. Also have you seen this post: stackoverflow.com/questions/10215170/… — Prescott

I'm not sure if you are asking how to build the url request (passing the parameters for your method through url)

If that's it, it should be like this

api/customer/PostCustomer/?FirstParameter=Example&SecondParemeter=Example2

If you mean the request itself

string postData = string.Format("?FirstParameter=" + txt_First.Text + "&SecondParemeter=" + txt_Last.Text);
        byte[] data = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);
        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("..../api/customer/PostCustomer"/" + postData);
        request.Method = "POST";
        request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
        request.Accept = "application/json";
        request.ContentLength = data.Length;

        using (Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream())
        {
            requestStream.Write(data, 0, data.Length);

        }

        try
        {
            using (WebResponse response = request.GetResponse())
            {
                var responseValue = string.Empty;


                // grab the response  
                using (var responseStream = response.GetResponseStream())
                {
                    using (var reader = new StreamReader(responseStream))
                    {
                        responseValue = reader.ReadToEnd(); // read the full response

                    }
                }
                if (responseValue != "")
                {
                    //Do something here if response is not empty

                }
            }
        }
        catch (WebException ex)
        {
            // Handle error
        }

I'm actually passing two objects as parameters

Ah Sorry I didn't understood that. Have you tried serializing the object and send the variable with the serialized object inside?
