WEB REQUEST

[Carl Howarth]

Hi,

I am trying to write a class to interface with a payment gateway (via an XML
string). I have managed to get this to work using the VB6 version of code,
but would rather like to use the .net webrequest/response techniques.

The VB6 style code I am using that works is as follows:

Dim xbroker As New MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP

xbroker.open("POST", "http://127.0.0.1:5001/", False)
xbroker.send(stXML)
MsgBox(xbroker.responseText)

............

The VB.NET code that is currently coming back with "(100) Timeout reading
from socket" is as follows:

Dim req As WebRequest
Dim rsp As WebResponse
Dim stResult As String

req = WebRequest.Create("http://127.0.0.1:5001/")
req.Method = "POST"
req.ContentType = "text/xml"

rsp = req.GetResponse

reader = New StreamReader(rsp.GetResponseStream)

MsgBox(reader.ReadToEnd)

reader = Nothing

If Not rsp Is Nothing Then rsp.GetResponseStream.Close()
.............................

Any ideas please?

Thanks in anticipation,

Carl
