Cannot POST to .XML page

[clevrmnkey]

I am trying to post some data to an XML page which is controlled by
SQLXML and returns XML from a stored procedure. However, when I build
the post request within ASP.NET and point it at the page it gives me a
Runtime Error 512. It does not do this if I point at an HTML page, and
the POST works fine for other pages (I basically copied it from the
gotdotnet 1.1 tutorial). When I couldn't get this to work I tried the
IP*Works trial tools and got exactly the same problem, so I'm assuming
that the problem lies in the Framework rather than in the language
implementation.

Has anyone else run into this, and especially, has anyone else managed
to get around this?

Thanks,
Andy

Issuing a post request in asp.net usually requires you to have set the
content type correctly, for xml that would be
req.ContentType = "text/xml"; See if this example can help you as it appears
to be a working example of posting xml data.
