I know this is an old question, but I figured this out:

You CAN do this using a SPD workflow (SPD 2007 or 2010). You can call the content type field in two ways:

In a workflow, use the "If [field] equals [value]" or the "Set [field] to [value]"
For the "If" statement, the field will be called "Content Type". The "Set" statement field will be called "Content Type ID". In either case you can assign the value based on available content types.

You do need to enable content types on the list or library settings. Here's an example workflow based on a custom list to record Accounts Payable entries:

List Column: Request Type (choice column with the choices of Reimbursement, Department Expense, Other)

List Content Types: Default, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable

If [Request Type] equals [Reimbursement]
then Set [Content Type ID] to [Accounts Payable]

When the workflow fires, it will only set the Content Type to Accounts Payable if the Request Type column is equal to Reimbursement.

application/json

The MIME media type for JSON text is application/json. The default encoding is UTF-8. ^{(Source: RFC 4627)}

C# – How to set the Content-Type header for an HttpClient request

The content type is a header of the content, not of the request, which is why this is failing. AddWithoutValidation as suggested by Robert Levy may work, but you can also set the content type when creating the request content itself (note that the code snippet adds application/json in two places-for Accept and Content-Type headers):

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://example.com/");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders
      .Accept
      .Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));//ACCEPT header

HttpRequestMessage request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, "relativeAddress");
request.Content = new StringContent("{\"name\":\"John Doe\",\"age\":33}",
                                    Encoding.UTF8, 
                                    "application/json");//CONTENT-TYPE header

client.SendAsync(request)
      .ContinueWith(responseTask =>
      {
          Console.WriteLine("Response: {0}", responseTask.Result);
      });
