    Haven't much luck resolving this issue on VB Language/General board. Thought I would try here.

    Am using VB.Net to post to a website (internal) an xml block of text, and hoping to get an xml response back. I am implementing functionality documented by a third party and API. It's an FTP Appliance. http://docs.allardsoft.com/filetransfer/api.

    I've tried variations on the code, getting back initially a 406 (Unacceptable) error back, am now getting 401 (Not AUthorized) back. Perhaps someone can tell me what I might be doing wrong here? Thank you!

     

     

            Dim r As StreamReader
        Dim result As String

        Dim h As HttpWebRequest = WebRequest.Create("https://filetransfer.somewhere.com")
        Dim xml As String = "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8""?><user><email>someone@somewhere.com</email><password>somepassword</password></user>"
        Dim enc As New UTF8Encoding
        Dim byte1 As Byte() = enc.GetBytes(xml)

        h.Method = "POST"
        h.ContentType = "text/xml"
        h.ContentLength = byte1.Length

        Dim st As Stream = h.GetRequestStream()
        st.Write(byte1, 0, byte1.Length)
        st.Close()

        Dim response As WebResponse = h.GetResponse()
        r = New StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream)

        result = r.ReadToEnd
        txtResponse.Text = ""
        txtResponse.Text = result
        response.Close()
