Can you share your code of adding header and calling the web api service? Also mention which line of code is giving the error.

What is the use case here? Are you calling a WebService or API using HttpRequest? What kind of custom headers you are talking about?

Catcher Wong · Answer

Hi , Lokeshkrohit you can try this before you send the request : NameValueCollection headers = HttpContext.Current.Request.Headers; //add a header headers.Add( "New Header" , "New Value" );
