hi all
Im having a big problem connecting to a SSL site (HSBC Bank) using
httpWebRequest. what i need to do is connet to the site and pass over an xml
string and read the response. Im pretty sure that ive created the connection
etc properly however when i attempt to do the post the page collapses in a
heap when it tries to get the request stream with an error of
The Function Completed Successfully, but must be called again to complete
the content
Exception Details: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The Function
Completed Successfully, but must be called again to complete the content
and in the stack trace
[Webexception: The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish
secure channel for SSL/TLS.}
ive posted the code that causes this below
If there is anyone out there that can help at all it would be most
appreciated as the client im doing this for is getting a little fed up with
the problems that we have had with the bank and the time that this is taking
to develop
