HTTP POST from a Web Service

[Chris Harris]

I have an ASP.NET Web Service which receives an XMLDocument which is then
parsed. The values in the XML file need to be sent to a Java servlet on
another web server. How would I initiate an HTTP Post to the servlet from the
ASP.NET web service?

Many thanks for your assistance!

Hi Chris

You can try httpWebRequest

HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest .Create(http://myurl) ;

I assume you will pass the parameters on the URL or using headers ?

Eitherway, this class might help
You can then use

HttpWebResponse resp = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse() ;

StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(resp.GetResponseStream,Encoding.ASCII );

Console.WriteLine(sr.ReadToEnd())
sr.Close();

To read the results back or something.

Hope this helps
Henk
