Send XML via HTTP Post to IP:Port

Question

Ok so to start off, I\'m not using any sort of web service. Right now I don\'t know a whole lot about the application receiving the XML other than it receives it. Big help there

Answer 1

The recommended way to make simple web requests is to use the WebClient object.

Here's a code snippet:

// assume your XML string is returned from GetXmlString()
string xml = GetXmlString();


// assume port 8080
string url = new UriBuilder("http","www.example.com",8080).ToString();     


// create a client object
using(System.Net.WebClient client = new System.Net.WebClient()) {
    // performs an HTTP POST
    client.UploadString(url, xml);  

}
