Question

I am trying to add document to the index using c# (xml) but I am always getting error 400 (Bad request). Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Code:

    private static string GetXml()
    {
        XDocument document = new XDocument(
            new XDeclaration("1.0", "UTF-8", "yes"),
            new XElement("add",
                new XElement("doc",
                    new XElement("field",
                        new XAttribute("name", "employeeId"),
                        new XText("05991")),
                    new XElement("field",
                        new XAttribute("name", "skills"),
                        new XText("Perl"))
                    )
                )
            );
        return document.ToString(SaveOptions.DisableFormatting);
    }

    private static void AddDocument()
    {
        string content = GetXml();
        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create("http://mysolrhost:8080/solr/update");
        request.Method = "POST";
        request.ContentType = "text/xml; charset=utf-8";
        byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(content);
        request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;

        using (var requestStream = request.GetRequestStream())
        using (var sw = new StreamWriter(requestStream))
        {
            sw.Write(content);
        }
        WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
        Console.WriteLine(((HttpWebResponse) response).StatusDescription);
    }

    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        AddDocument();
    }

Edit: the problem is solved (see the answer below).

Many thanks!

Ah, silly me, I forgot to add field in the schema and this is the reason why i got 400. Everything is ok now.

Many thanks!
