.NET HTTP POST Method - Cookies issue

Question

I\'m trying to use C# to login to hotfile.com. The first big issue was to overcome the 417 Error, which this line solved it:

System.Net.ServicePointManager.E         


        

Answer 1

Here's a working example I wrote for you:

var cookies = new CookieContainer();
ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = false;

var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.hotfile.com/login.php");
request.CookieContainer = cookies;
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
using (var requestStream = request.GetRequestStream())
using (var writer = new StreamWriter(requestStream))
{
    writer.Write("user=XX&pass=XX&returnto=/");
}

using (var responseStream = request.GetResponse().GetResponseStream())
using (var reader = new StreamReader(responseStream))
{
    var result = reader.ReadToEnd();
    Console.WriteLine(result);
}
