Create Opportunity Using rest API; Error : 400 bad request in response

Example for creating Opportunity : 
curl https://na1.salesforce.com/services/data/v20.0/sobjects/Opportunity/ -H "Authorization: Bearer token" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @newrecord.json -X PATCH
Example request body newrecord.json file : 
{ "Name":"FFNEw","CloseDate":"3/2/2015","StageName":"Prospecting","Probability":10 }
My ASP.net code : 
using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
{
client.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " + token.access_token); client.Headers.Add("Content-Type", "application/json");
var request = (HttpWebRequest)(HttpWebRequest.Create(token.instance_url + "/services/data/v20.0/sobjects/Opportunity/"));
request.Method = "POST";
using (var requestWriter = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream()))
{
  requestWriter.Write(json);
  requestWriter.Flush();
  requestWriter.Close();
}
var response = request.GetResponse();
}
Getting Error 400 Bad Request in "request.GetResponse()".
I am able to create Account using same code. I don't Know what wrongs with Opportunity.

You have problem with your date format."CloseDate":"3/2/2015"

use "CloseDate":"2015-03-02"

what if you use the latest SFDC version v32.0 instead of V20.0?

debug and see if you are getting updated JSON Request.
(400) Bad Request is mostly due to incorrect JSON.

You can use workbench to send the JSON Request and see what you are getting.

I am sure it is about the date format and you should have date as "2015-03-02"

How to create bulk record using rest API?
I am able to create single record using above code. But can't create multiple records.

My request string is : 
[{"Name":"Opp1","CloseDate":"2015-05-02","StageName":"Stage1","Probability":"10","Amount":"1500"},{"Name":"Opp2","CloseDate":"2015-02-03","StageName":"Stage2","Probability":"5","Amount":"2000"}]
Error in .net Code : 400 bad request
Error in Workbench : errorCode: METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED
message: HTTP Method 'POST' not allowed. Allowed are HEAD,GET

I don't think inserting multiple records is supported at this time using REST API.

add below code to the Curl Call 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST,           "GET");

Rest API will support object, 400 error is due to data mismatch.
