GetRequestStream blocks

[Mike Markiewicz]

I need help from someone who's familiar with HttpWebRequest. I'm trying to
extract data from a website that requires you to log in. I'm using the
GetRequestStream method to send the POST data.

I can successfully get through logging in, but there is a second post that
has to be done. When I call GetRequestStream a second time, it stays inside
the function. I haven't yet waited long enough to see what eventually might
happen.

I've already tried using a separate variable for both the HttpWebRequest and
the Stream, but the results are the same. Is there any reason it isn't able
to get a stream? I closed the first one.

Thanks,
Mike

If you want retrieve data from website you should consider
HttpWebResponse.GetResponseStream();

I'm trying to get a stream that I can write POST data to....

It's working. I think what fixed it was making sure to close all the
previous streams and response objects.
