string json = string.Empty;
 
using ( HttpClient client = new HttpClient() )
{
   string ido = "UserNames";
   string rowpointer = "4d6cb1eb-e4fc-4e12-aae8-95ff1086ee8c";
   string requestUrl = $"http://server/IDORequestService/ido/docobj/{ido}?rowpointer={rowpointer}&name=WeeklyReport&desc=Weekly%20report%20for%20this%20week&ext=docx";
 
   // provide token in the Authorization header
   client.DefaultRequestHeaders.TryAddWithoutValidation(
      "Authorization",
      "b/XdI6IQzCviZOGJ0E+002DoKUFOPmVDkwpQDbQj…==" );
 
   // select an image or a file and include it as the request payload
   OpenFileDialog dialog = new OpenFileDialog();
   byte[] file = new byte[] { };
 
   if ( dialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK )
   {
      file = File.ReadAllBytes( dialog.FileName );
   }
 
   // pass the file as the request data and send the post request
   HttpResponseMessage response = client.PostAsync( requestUrl, new ByteArrayContent( file ) ).Result;
 
   using ( HttpContent content = response.Content )
   {
      Task<string> result = content.ReadAsStringAsync();
