Hi,

I have an XML file at http://localhost/test.xml that I want to read and then
update.
I can get and read the file no problem with GetResponseStream etc...

The code (see 2 examples below) I am using to write the new xml to that same
location does not give me any error but the file never updates.  When I open
the file from XMLSPY with Open URL ...  I can read and update it.

Thanks for your help.

First example

   Dim myRequest As HttpWebRequest =
CType(WebRequest.Create("http://localhost/test.xml"), HttpWebRequest)

   myRequest.Method = "POST"
   myRequest.PreAuthenticate = True
   Dim networkCredential As New NetworkCredential("myName", "MyPassword",
"MyDomain")

   myRequest.Credentials = networkCredential

   ' this one doesn't work either myRequest.ContentType =
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
   myRequest.ContentType = "text/xml"
   
   Dim newStream As Stream = myRequest.GetRequestStream()
   Dim sw As New StreamWriter(newStream)
   sw.Write("<test></test>")
   sw.Flush()
   sw.Close()

Second example

   Dim myRequest As WebRequest =
HttpWebRequest.Create("http://localhost/test.xml")
   myRequest.Method = "POST"
   myRequest.ContentType = "text/xml"
   myRequest.PreAuthenticate = True
   Dim networkCredential As New NetworkCredential("myName", "myPassword",
"MyDomain")

   myRequest.Credentials = networkCredential

   Dim postData As String = "<test></test>"
   Dim encoder As New ASCIIEncoding
   Dim byteArray As Byte() = encoder.GetBytes(postData)
   myRequest.ContentLength = byteArray.Length

   Dim readStream As Stream = myRequest.GetRequestStream()

   readStream.Write(byteArray, 0, postData.Length)
   readStream.Close()
