Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anybody could help me with sending xml as part of an
http post. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

what are your issues with it? what problems are you having?

you can user WebRequest class, and set xml data as the post data

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anybody could help me with sending xml as part of
an http post. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

This sample method shows how to post an XML string "xml" to a web
application located at "url".

public void PostXml(string url, string xml) {
byte[] bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(xml);
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(url);
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentLength = bytes.Length;
request.ContentType = "text/xml";
using (Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream()) {
requestStream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
}

HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse();
if (response.StatusCode != HttpStatusCode.OK) {
string message = String.Format("POST failed. Received HTTP {0}",
response.StatusCode);
throw new ApplicationException(message);
}
}

Cheers,

I'm trying to do the same thing in vb.net.

Is there an equivalent vb.net example?

Thanks
