I have this code and it is causeing a problem because the response contains ü so it has problems.
I want to be able to make the request the same content type as the response and this does not seem to do it. If I debug it the content type of the response is "", so nothing basically and I guess it defaults to something that can not handle foreign characters
----------------------------------------------------------
XmlDocument responseXML = new XmlDocument();
HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(strURL);
req.ContentType = "text/xml;charset=\"ISO-8859-1\"";
req.Method = "POST";
req.ContentLength = strXML.Length;
Stream streamReq = req.GetRequestStream();
StreamWriter w = new StreamWriter(streamReq);
w.Write(strXML);
w.Flush();
w.Close();
streamReq.Close();
HttpWebResponse resp = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();
Stream streamResp = resp.GetResponseStream();
responseXML.Load(streamResp);
XmlNodeReader reader = new XmlNodeReader(responseXML);
------------------------------------------------------

have you tried something to the effect of:
req.ContentType = "text/xml";
req.Accept = "text/xml";
?

I will only tell you how to do it, not do it for you.
Unless, of course, you want to hire me to do work for you.

Yeah that's what I had initially then i switched it to text/xml;charset=\"ISO-8859-1\. I also tried it using the WebResponse and WebRequest object.

Your webresponse should be ok; this is how I make all of my WebRequests:
HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(strURL);
req.Method = "POST";
req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
req.Accept = "text/xml";
StreamWriter streamWriter = new System.IO.StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream());
streamWriter.Write(([xml object]));
streamWriter.Close();
System.Net.HttpWebResponse httpWebResponse = httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
StreamReader streamReader = new System.IO.StreamReader(httpWebResponse.GetResponseStream());
//More code here
Is there an error being thrown by the run time?

Yeah it is a run time error. It crashes on
responseXML.Load(streamResp);
with this message
There is an invalid character in the given encoding. Line 1, position 952.
The character at position 952 is ü

Sounds like a UTF-8 encoded page, why are you specifying ISO-8859-1?

Yeah it seems like the response is UTF-8 or some other format that is not able to read foreign characters. I specified ISO-8859-1 because when I took the response and put that in instead of UTF-8 the web browser did not crash, but was okay.
Does this mean there is a problem with the way I'm getting the response and that the app that I'm posting needs to change the encoding on their response, or can I change the response encoding on my side?
*edit*
My fault I didn't quite understand what was going on. Is it possible to change the encoding of the response, not contenttype?
