I read many examples with NetworkCredenti al and WebClient, but no one
with a real http address.
They all work in theory, but I wasn't able to use them in the real
world.
The following code should access an ebay page. There is no
redirection involved in TestPage. If you have an ebay account you can
try it in 1 minute.
What's wrong with my code?
Dim UserName As String = "stenci"
Dim Password As String = "vivalafica "
Dim TestPage As String = _
"http://my.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?M yeBay&MyeBay=" _
& UserName
Dim Cli As New Net.WebClient
Dim Txt1 = Cli.DownloadStr ing(TestPage)
IO.File.WriteAl lText("C:\1.txt ", Txt1)
Cli.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCred ential(UserName , _
Password)
Dim Txt2 = Cli.DownloadStr ing(TestPage)
IO.File.WriteAl lText("C:\2.txt ", Txt2)
MsgBox("Before setting credentials is not logged=" & _
InStr(Txt1, "Sign In: My eBay") & " is logged=" _
& InStr(Txt2, "Sign In: My eBay"))
MsgBox("After setting credentials is not logged=" & _
InStr(Txt1, "My Summary") & " is logged=" _
& InStr(Txt2, "My Summary"))
Thanks,

eBay uses a different authentication approach similar to those used by

Hi all!
I use a webClient for requesting data from a server of mine.
Should I worry about long ammount of data sent by server in the client side?
Or, another way, should I send some kind of a terminator sign in the data in
order to realise in the client that all data arrived?

I am programming what is to be a web service client that will use an
HTTP-POST to request and retrieve data. The remote server (written in java
for what it's worth) requires basic authentication as per RFC 2617
(http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2617.html). My attempts to authenticate are
failing. The server requires the header to be present with the request.
For security reasons, it will not reply in any way if the header is not
present.

Hi
We are using NetworkCredential with Active Dir to validate the user.
The problem we are having is, when the user is required to change his
password at logon (every 90 days) the NetworkCredential call fails. Its
seems to take about an hour before the password propagates and starts to
work.
Is there a work around?

I'm having a problem with the WebClient object. When I post data to certain
sites, it will receive a command from the webserver (object moved) and
continue to the next link by downloading that. The problem is, certain

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
