Hi;

I am getting "Unhandled Exception:
System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an erro
r: (401) Unauthorized."


when I am trying to get a page via post. Code follows...




System.Text.ASCIIEncoding encoding = new
System.Text.ASCIIEncoding();
string postData="age=23&state=47";
byte[] data = encoding.GetBytes(postData);

HttpWebRequest myRequest = (HttpWebRequest)
WebRequest.Create"http://localhost/index.asp");
myRequest.Method = "POST";
myRequest.ContentType="application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
myRequest.ContentLength = data.Length;
Stream newStream=myRequest.GetRequestStream();
newStream.Write(data,0,data.Length);
newStream.Close();

System.IO.StreamReader st = new StreamReader
(((HttpWebResponse)myRequest.GetResponse
()).GetResponseStream());
Console.Write(st.ReadLine());




PLEASE HELP ME.... I AM BADLY STUCK <weeping>

You need to set the credentials property on the HttpWebRequest to an
implementation of the ICredentials interface which will have access to the
resource. You can use the NetworkCredentials class to set a user name and
password.

Hope this helps.
 
Yes; it did worked... thankssss....

but.... Mr MVP; PLEASE PLEASE HELP... me just 'bout to
die... can't fight more :S

(lcUrl);


string lcPostData = "info=" +
System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode("0") + "&set=" +
System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode("1");

loHttp.Method="POST";

byte [] lbPostBuffer = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding
(1252).GetBytes(lcPostData);

loHttp.ContentLength = lbPostBuffer.Length;

Stream loPostData = loHttp.GetRequestStream();
loPostData.Write(lbPostBuffer,0,lbPostBuffer.Length);
loPostData.Flush();
loPostData.Close();

HttpWebResponse loWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse)
loHttp.GetResponse();
System.Text.Encoding enc = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding
(1252);
StreamReader loResponseStream = new StreamReader
(loWebResponse.GetResponseStream(),enc);

string lcHtml = loResponseStream.ReadToEnd();
Console.Write(lcHtml);
loWebResponse.Close();
loResponseStream.Close();

You need to send a few request headers to let the server know what you're
sending. Specifically you need to tell it the content type and
content-length.

Take a look here:

http://www.west-wind.com/articles.asp

And look at the "Retrieve HTTP Content with .Net". The article comes with
code for a wrapper class that provides post support for several content
types as well as a few other things like authentication and proxy info in a
single interface.
