A Way to specify a port on WebRequest.Create()?

[Young Cho]

Hi,

I am trying to POST XML data to my web server via HTTPS and port 5000. I am
specifying the port number on a WebRequest.Create call as code below. From
what I am seeing, this does not seem to be working. Can I specify a port
number on the WebRequest.Create() call? If so, is my syntax correct?

Thank you.
Young.

HttpWebRequest req =
(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(https://myserver:5000);

req.Method = "POST";

req.ContentType = "text/xml";

req.Headers.Add("Cookie: SMCHALLENGE=YES");

req.Headers.Add("Authorization: Basic " + authStr);



byte[] encodedBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(deliveryPackage.Payload);

req.ContentLength = encodedBytes.Length;




requestStream = req.GetRequestStream();

Your problem has nothing to do with specifying the port. You've
encountered a bug in the Compact Framework with the way you're using ssl
and HttpWebRequest. Instead of setting the ContentLength on the request,
set AllowWriteStreamBuffering to true. Try your request like that, and you
should have success.
