HttpWebRequest POST and Cookies

Question

Hi am trying to make an application that post data to a joomla login page but the only thing i get back is cookies is not enabled.

Function GetPage(ByVal Url         


        

Answer 1

Try to set .CookieContainer before writing any data to .GetRequestStream()

Look this sample:

CookieContainer cookies = new CookieContainer();
HttpWebRequest postRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(site);
postRequest.CookieContainer = cookies; // note this
postRequest.Method = "POST";
postRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
using (Stream stream = postRequest.GetRequestStream())
{
    stream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
}
