HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse

[Ashish, FL]

Hi all:

My old application used to POST xml to a remote server using HttpWebRequest
from within an aspx page. The process worked like a charm (though sometimes I
experienced delays in receiving a response). Using the .NET class similar to
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330589/EN-US/#7

Now, I am required to make that POST xml request over HTTPS instead of HTTP.
I have no ideas what to do, where to begin. Ofcourse, just changing the
posturl from "http://" to "https://" didn't work (as expected, hehehe). Can
anyone throw some pointers...?

Hi,

You probably need to define a custom security policy. A browser has this
built in but HttpWebRequest doesn't. You'll want to search for
System.Net.ICertificatePolicy to find out how to create these. Good luck!
Ken.

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the tip. I will try to look it up.

In the meantime, does anyone else have any links or samples of how this is
done.
Thanks in advance.
Ashish.
