VB.NET SSL Invalid Cert Problem

[Tom]

Hello,
I am running into a roadblock with an app I am writing to pull
an HTML doc from a SSL secured internal website. My app works fine
to sites with valid certs, but dies to my internal site. The internal site
has
a OpenSSL generated cert but the issuer is unknown. I expect this to be
always be the case. My problem is that I cannot seem to find a way to
tell VB.NET to ignore the cert's status. I have found some examples for
prior versions of VB, but that doesn't help much. Any input would be
greatly appreciated!!

Sample Code:

On Error Resume Next

Dim myRequest As WebRequest =
WebRequest.Crea te("https://10.4.4.4/cgi-bin/notice/notice.html")

If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Console.WriteLi ne("Error: " & Err.Number & " " & Err.Description )
Err.Clear()
End If

Dim myResponse As WebResponse = myRequest.GetRe sponse()

If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Console.WriteLi ne("Error: " & Err.Number & " " & Err.Description )
Err.Clear()
End If
Dim strm As Stream = myResponse.GetR esponseStream()
Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader(st rm)
Dim sText As String = sr.ReadToEnd()

Console.WriteLi ne(sText)
myResponse.Clos e()
strm.Close()
myResponse = Nothing
strm = Nothing
sr = Nothing

Thanks in advance!

Tom
