HttpWebRequest TimeOut On an Https channel while posting data

[Joey Chömpff]

Hello,

When I'm uploading an file to a JRun WebServer (third party) with a Windows
Forms application, l always get an TimeOut while uploading, all other request
who doesn't request an post are going ok? Why? I've tried almost everything.
I also tried the KB888528 solution but this also doesn't work.

What can the KB887563 do for me?

Machine( tried on Windows 2003 Server & WinXp)
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 SP1

I'll hope somebody could help me because this is very frustrating.

Thanx in advance.

Greetz,

I've seen that I didn't use the same encoding everywhere, but this wasnt the
solution.

I've tried to search my own post and then I saw an post from "Haacked" he
noticed something about "the Expect-100 problem". He had an url to his
WebLog who gave me a solotion of my problem
(http://haacked.com/archive/2004/05/15/449.aspx).

Thanx.
