Add Custom Headers using HttpWebRequest

Question

I am not really sure what type of headers these highlighted values are  but how should I add them using HttpWebRequest     Is the highlighted part considered body of the http request or header data  In other words  which way is correct   Here is the code I am currently using   HttpWebRequest request    HttpWebRequest  WebRequest Create   securecontrol reset passwordreset    request Headers Add  Authorization    Basic asdadsasdas8586    request ContentType    application x-www-form-urlencoded   request Host    www xxxxxxxxxx com   request Method    POST   request Proxy   null  request Headers Add   amp command requestnewpassword    request Headers Add   amp application netconnect      But should I use the following instead to build the Http Request above   string reqString     amp command requestnewpassword amp application netconnect   byte   requestData   Encoding UTF8 GetBytes reqString    HttpWebRequest request    HttpWebRequest  WebRequest Create   securecontrol reset passwordreset    request Headers Add  Authorization    Basic ashAHasd87asdHasdas    request ContentType    application x-www-form-urlencoded   request ContentLength   requestData Length  request Proxy   null  request Host    www xxxxxxxxxx com   request Method    POST    using  Stream st   request GetRequestStream    st Write requestData  0  requestData Length

IMHO it is considered as malformed header data   You actually want to send those name value pairs as  the request content  this is the way POST works  and not as headers   The second way is true
