Can RestSharp send binary data without using a multipart content type?

Question

I have been using AddParameter to include XML bodies in my HTTP requests:

request.AddParameter(contentType, body, ParameterType.RequestBody);

In the latest version of RestSharp at the time of writing (version 104), the modification needs to be in Http.Sync.cs , method PreparePostData, which should read as:

    private void PreparePostData(HttpWebRequest webRequest)
    {

        // Multiple Files or 1 file and body and / or parameters
        if (Files.Count > 1 || (Files.Count == 1 && (HasBody || Parameters.Count>0)))
        {
            webRequest.ContentType = GetMultipartFormContentType();
            using (var requestStream = webRequest.GetRequestStream())
            {
                WriteMultipartFormData(requestStream);
            }
        }
        else if (Files.Count == 1)
        {
            using (var requestStream = webRequest.GetRequestStream())
            {
                Files[0].Writer(requestStream);
            }
        }
        PreparePostBody(webRequest);
    }
