Defining a URL for HttpWebRequest

[Fred Herring]

I am trying to use httpwebrequest to post data. I have a question about how
to define the url for the httpwebrequest.

Dim request As HttpWebRequest =
CType(WebRequest.Create("http://localhost/test/PostAccepter.aspx"),
HttpWebRequest)

Is it always necessary when specifying a url for posting via httpwebrequst
to use a .aspx extension for the destination folder in a virtual directory?

Thanks,
Fred Herring

it's necessary unless you have the non-extension url mapped to the correct
resource from the IIS side. IIS uses extensions to determine how to proceed
with the request.
