Ajax post with C# Handler and XSRF-TOKEN

The sample code shown in my answer works perfectly on the target framework of .NET 7.0.

there are two files in here; This does not work and trying to figure out how to modify stuff in the startup to work with token.

I included code that does work in the very last section below. I believe there are some conflicts in the startup how I build my app object and having hard time figuring it out.

In the Startup I have other configurations and things I need to keep and trying how to modify that code to work with the token.

Below is the code that does not work.

1. is the Program.CS
2. is the Startup.CS
3. Sample code that works in my project but I need other things in the Startup.CS and don't' know yet how to convert them to align with working with the Token.
4. Program.CS
