How to send Ajax request, using HttpClient

Well, Actually you can't send real AJAX request using HttpClient, but you can simulate it by adding XMLHttpRequest to request header like this:

client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("X-Requested-With", "XMLHttpRequest");

Here is a Helper method which requires Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client nuget package:

    private async TResponse CreateHttpRequestAsync<TRequest, TResponse>(Uri uri, TRequest request)
        where TRequest : class
        where TResponse : class, new()
    {
        using (var client = new HttpClient())
        {
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("X-Requested-With", "XMLHttpRequest");
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
            //client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", _bearerToken);
            var response = await client.PostAsJsonAsync(uri, request);
            if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
            {
                var json = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
                return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TResponse>(json);
            }
            else if(response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized)
            {
                throw new UnauthorizedException();
            }
            else
            {
                throw new InvalidOperationException();
            }
        }

    }
