POST request for Office365 using REST API

Question

I want to POST method request for Office365 using REST API. For example, Feed/Post, Post/Reply, and Post/Like.

Request Header:

Accept : application/json; odata=verbose

Content-Type: application/json; odata=verbose

Method: POST

ContentLength: content.Length

CookieContainer: cookieContainer

Request content about Feed/Post

"restCreationData":
 {
  "__metadata":{
        "type":"SP.Social.SocialRestPostCreationData"
      },
  "ID":null,
  "creationData":{
        "__metadata":{
          "type":"SP.Social.SocialPostCreationData"
        },
        "ContentText":"This post was published using REST.", 
        "UpdateStatusText":false
  }
}

But I get 403 status error.

Can anyone tell me How to post method request for Office365.

Try this:

jQuery.ajax({
        url: "http://<site url>/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('Test')",
        type: "POST",
        data: JSON.stringify({ '__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.List' }, 'Title': 'New title' }),
        headers: { 
            "X-HTTP-Method":"MERGE",
            "accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
            "content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose",
            "content-length": <length of post body>,
            "X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val(),
            "IF-MATCH": "*"
        },
        success: doSuccess,
        error: doError
});
