HTTP Client Cookie c#

Question

I'm trying to set cookies and get cookies from a general method. I saw this example that works but I'm having troubles in changing my own code in a way that I can keep my general function.

 CookieContainer cookies = new CookieContainer();
HttpClientHandler handler = new HttpClientHandler();
handler.CookieContainer = cookies;

HttpClient client = new HttpClient(handler);
HttpResponseMessage response = client.GetAsync("http://google.com").Result;

Uri uri = new Uri("http://google.com");
IEnumerable<Cookie> responseCookies = cookies.GetCookies(uri).Cast<Cookie>();
foreach (Cookie cookie in responseCookies)
    Console.WriteLine(cookie.Name + ": " + cookie.Value);

Console.ReadLine();

My code:

 public static HttpClient CreateClientASMtoken(string tokenVal)
    {


        var httpClient = new HttpClient
        {
            BaseAddress = new Uri(urlASM)
        };
        httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
        httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
        //httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new Cookie("token", tokenVal));
        return httpClient;
    }

The commented code is one of my trys to make this happen. The other general method that I use is this:

public static async Task<HttpResponseMessage> PostASM(string path, object content)
    {
        string tokenVal = "d2GpEA5r8pwLRcOPxgaygPooldz2OZ2HUZzZ0YDPAOYCIiH4u5";            
        using (var client = CreateClientASMtoken(tokenVal))
        {
            var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(content);
            var serializedContent = new StringContent(json, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
            var postResponse = await client.PostAsync(path, serializedContent);

            //string response = await postResponse.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
            return postResponse;
        }
    }

EDIT: I've tried this too:

But it shows an error and the url is ok and so is the token. Thanks in advance :)

Solution

I found a way that solves the problem easily. Thanks for the ones who contributed.

public static async Task<string> GetASM(string path)
    {
        string tokenVal = "d2GpEA5r8pwLRcOPxgaygPooldz2OZ2HUZzZ0YDPAOYCIiH4u5";
        Uri uriASM = new Uri(urlASM);
        var cookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
        using (var handler = new HttpClientHandler() { CookieContainer = cookieContainer })
        using (var client = new HttpClient(handler) { BaseAddress = uriASM })
        {
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
            {
                cookieContainer.Add(uriASM, new Cookie("token", tokenVal));
                var getResponse = await client.GetAsync(path);
                return await getResponse.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
            }
        }
    }

Hi @FSDaniel I've tried your suggestion but doesn't work and the request is ok because I've tested with the REST Easy app and it works I substitute for "httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Cookie","token="+toke‌​nVal);" and its a bad request (the server replies this if the cookie is wrong)
