Trigger ImageButton Click with a HttpWebRequest

[Benjamin Schwitter]

Hello all

I have been experimenting with System.Net.HttpWebRequest.

No problems with "normal" GET's and POST's. I can pass form data and I
receive the result correctly, as if a user browsed the site.

My problem is, that I can't figure out, how to trigger the clickevent from a
serverside ImageButton. We use them in one of our apps and my testcases also
have to cover this.
It's quite clear that I can't simulate a mouseclick with a HttpWebRequest.
But even the mouseclick has to end in an HTTP-Request to transmit it to the
server.
There has to be a way to simulate this.

Has anyone ever done this? Has anyone any idea?

Thanx
