Just not working.....

[VK Link]

Hi, I am trying to post to another server using ASP.Net. I got this code from Microsoft web site: Dim myReq As HttpWebRequest = _ WebRequest.Create("http://www.contoso.com/") I have put this code in "Button1_Click" event. It just does not transfer to the site specified. I have added the Net namespace. Is something still missing? Many thanks.

The code you showed doesn't do anyting, it just creates an object. What is it that you expect the code to do? --- b { font-weight: normal; }

Shouldn't this redirect to the web site "http://www.contoso.com" as specified, along with the information it needs to post in the form? First, I was just trying to make sure that it redirects to above url, then post all variables info. I need to post to another server url from ASP.Net. Thanks. Vani

No, it shouldn't. Where is that specified? You can't do redirection with the HttpWebRequest object. Take a look at the examples in the documentation[^]. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

Response.Redirect will do it. HttpWebRequest will get a request programmaticly. But will not redirect the page 1 line of code equals many bugs. So don't write any!!

I tried this after trying the documentation you had sent me - Dim HttpWReq As HttpWebRequest = _ CType(WebRequest.Create("http://www.contoso.com"), HttpWebRequest) Dim HttpWResp As HttpWebResponse = _ CType(HttpWReq.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse) ' Insert code that uses the response object. HttpWResp.Close() Samething - it doesn't redirect to "http://www.contoso.com" - is something amiss above? thanks so much!

Of course it doesn't redirect, I already told you that you can't do that using a HttpWebRequest object. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

Using a HttpWebResponse as well, after HTTPWebRequest - still wouldn't work, you say? Thanks.

It works just fine, but it won't do a redirect. --- b { font-weight: normal; }
