hey im trying to make an app that will log in to facebook , im using the following method to establish connection and post my credentials: public static void start_post(string strPage, string strBuffer) { //Our postvars byte[] buffer = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strBuffer); //Initialisation HttpWebRequest WebReq = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(strPage); //Our method is post, otherwise the buffer (postvars) would be useless WebReq.Method = "POST"; //We use form contentType, for the postvars. WebReq.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"; //The length of the buffer (postvars) is used as contentlength. WebReq.ContentLength = buffer.Length; //We open a stream for writing the postvars WebReq.Referer = "http://www.facebook.com/index.php?"; Stream PostData = WebReq.GetRequestStream(); //Now we write, and afterwards, we close. Closing is always important! PostData.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length); PostData.Close(); //Get the response handle, we have no true response yet! HttpWebResponse WebResp = (HttpWebResponse)WebReq.GetResponse(); //Let's show some information about the response Console.WriteLine(WebResp.StatusCode); Console.WriteLine(WebResp.Server); //Now, we read the response (the string), and output it. Stream Answer = WebResp.GetResponseStream(); StreamReader _Answer = new StreamReader(Answer); reply = _Answer.ReadToEnd(); Console.WriteLine(reply); } i get the following respond from facebook: "sorry, we're not cool enough to support your browser. please keep it real with the following browsers: ...." any idea how to work around this facebook check , as im sending same data as my IE agent i dont know what else will work , asking for your expert help. thank you.

And just where do you set that? I dont see it anywhere in your code. Try again.

I had the same problem and i used the line

WebReq.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009021910 Firefox/3.0.7 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)";

it makes the server think that its running FireFox

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//string strBuffer = "email=" + username + "&pass=" + Password + "&login=Login";
string strBuffer = "email=xxxxxxxxxxx&pass=xxxxxxxxxxxxx;login=Login";

   start\_post(strBuffer);
}

public void start\_post(string strBuffer)
{
    //Our postvars
    byte\[\] buffer = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strBuffer);
    //Initialisation

    HttpWebRequest WebReq = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://login.facebook.com/login.php?m&next=http%3A%2F%2Fm.facebook.com%2Fhome.php");
    //Our method is post, otherwise the buffer (postvars) would be useless
    WebReq.Method = "POST";
    //We use form contentType, for the postvars.

    WebReq.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
    //The length of the buffer (postvars) is used as contentlength.
    WebReq.ContentLength = buffer.Length;
    //We open a stream for writing the postvars
    WebReq.Referer = "http://www.facebook.com/index.php?";

    Stream PostData = WebReq.GetRequestStream();
    //Now we write, and afterwards, we close. Closing is always important!
    PostData.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
    PostData.Close();
    //Get the response handle, we have no true response yet!
   // HttpWebResponse WebResp = (HttpWebResponse)WebReq.GetResponse();
   // //Let's show some information about the response
   //WebResp.StatusCode;
   //WebResp.Server;

    //Now, we read the response (the string), and output it.
    using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)WebReq.GetResponse())
    {
        using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
        {
        Response.Write(reader.ReadToEnd());

        }
    }
}
