How do we receive list of documents from Web service using Web API..?

How do we receive list of docs number while calling Web API client.

I am getting error : "Status Code: 406, ReasonPhrase:Not Acceptable',....

But, the service is correct and all other remaining values are correct. but, finally we are getting the error.

Scrrenshot attached for reference (Status Code).

Source is below:
------------------------

 	    
	    private const string URL = "http://testURL.net/getDocs";
            private const string DATA = @"{""EmpId"": ""101"",""EmpName"": ""ANDREWS"",""Dept"": ""Accounts""}";
	    System.Net.Http.HttpClient client = new System.Net.Http.HttpClient();
            client.BaseAddress = new System.Uri(URL);
            byte[] cred = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("username:password");
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", Convert.ToBase64String(cred));
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new System.Net.Http.Headers.MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/x-www-form-urlencoded"));

            System.Net.Http.HttpContent content = new StringContent(DATA, UTF8Encoding.UTF8, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
            HttpResponseMessage messge = client.PostAsync(URL, content).Result;
            string description = string.Empty;
            if (messge.IsSuccessStatusCode)
            {
                string result = messge.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
                description = result;
            }

Input : {""EmpId"": ""101"",""EmpName"": ""ANDREWS"",""Dept"": ""Accounts""}

Method : post

Receiving output (List<string>) : { "ACToo1","IMN201","RAK101",....}... ====> Doc numbers as output...

we tried to execute in third party tool. (SoapUI 5.4.0).. it is working fine.. below is the output..

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

["ACToo1","IMN201","RAK101"]

But, we are not sure where we have to change in our code...?

Isn't your request payload JSON data? But in the headers you have marked it as "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

Try using "application/json" content type.
