endpoint.tv: HttpClient Query String and Form Input Management

In this short video, CSD MVP Aaron Skonnard from PluralSight guides the viewer on how to manage query string and form input while consuming REST services.

In this screencast, Aaron builds on the simple Twitter command shell application presented in the previous HttpClient screencast. Aaron modifies the previous code to build a query string on the fly using the new HttpQueryString class, adding information provided by the user at runtime. And to perform a status update to Twitter, Aaron uses the new HttpUrlEncodedForm class to process a form POST command to the Twitter service.
