Hi Vadmyn,

this is a B2B scenario and i may not publish the complete System.Net.Trac e
as it contain very confidential info.

But here is the last bit . I doubt you can get any usefull hint from it.

Mnay thanks anyway

Well, I don't know:
System.Net Error: 0 : [8036] Exception in the
HttpWebRequest# 4878312::EndGet Response - The remote server returned an
error: (401) Unauthorized.

That seems to indicate your problem is to do with authorization more
than anything else.

This is no proper webserivce. It just does xml over https.

Hello, jens!

jJ> This is no proper webserivce. It just does xml over https.

As Jon pointed out, the problem you have is connected with authorization.

Look at the docs for
HttpWebRequest. Credentials property.

Thus wrote Mike,

I am presuming that the problem is that the bytes are correct but the
remote service doesn't recognize them as being UTF-8. Try adding

req.ContentEnco ding = encoding;

That's HttpRequest as of ASP.NET fame and doesn't apply here ;-)

What type is "req", then?

HttpWebRequest, I suspect.

You came up with that line of code, you tell me ;-)

Must have been System.Net.Http WebRequest -- don't have the OP at hand anymore.

The OP didn't show the declaration, which is why I asked.

But I'm sure you (and Jon) are right.
