Hi,

I just wanted to add the info that xins' suggestion was the one that helped me out in my VS2005 environment!

From the suggestion I've added:

        req.ProtocolVersion = HttpVersion.Version10
        req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
        req.Proxy = System.Net.WebProxy.GetDefaultProxy()
        req.AllowAutoRedirect = True
        req.MaximumAutomaticRedirections = 10
        req.UserAgent = "Mozilla/3.0 (compatible; My Browser/1.0)"

... and now everything is working fine.

Thanks a lot for this suggestion!

Hi, I have the exception:System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: Unable to connect to the remote server.

The code is:
Dim URL As String = sRemoteServer
Dim request As HttpWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(URL)
request.Method = "POST"
Dim writer As New System.IO.StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream())
writer.Write(sParameters)
writer.Close()

Dim response As HttpWebResponse = request.GetResponse()
Dim reader As New System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream( ))
Dim str As String = reader.ReadLine()

Could anyone help me, please?
Thanks in advance.

I'd like to specify I made a web application, not a web service.

Hi,

I'm using this in a class and it returns the response string:


    Protected Const ORDERENVIRONMENT As String = "http://www.anyserver.com/order.aspx?ID="

    Protected Function ProcessOrder(ByVal theID as Long, ByVal p1 as String, ByVal p2 as String) As String
        Dim reqStrg As String = String.Empty
        Dim req As System.Net.HttpWebRequest
        Dim res As System.Net.HttpWebResponse
        Dim sr As System.IO.StreamReader
        Dim s As System.IO.Stream
        Dim b As Byte()
        Dim myResult As String = String.Empty
        req = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(ORDERENVIRONMENT + theID.ToString())
        reqStrg = "param1=" + Server.UrlEncode(p1) + "&"
        reqStrg += "param2=" + Server.UrlEncode(p2)
        b = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(reqStrg)
        req.Method = "post"
        req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
        req.KeepAlive = False
        req.Timeout = 30000
        req.ProtocolVersion = HttpVersion.Version10
        req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
        req.Proxy = System.Net.WebProxy.GetDefaultProxy()
        req.AllowAutoRedirect = True
        req.MaximumAutomaticRedirections = 10
        req.UserAgent = "Mozilla/3.0 (compatible; My Browser/1.0)"
        req.ContentLength = b.Length
        s = req.GetRequestStream()
        s.Write(b, 0, b.Length)
        res = req.GetResponse()
        sr = New System.IO.StreamReader(res.GetResponseStream())
        myResult = sr.ReadToEnd
        sr.Close()
        res.Close()
        Return myResult
    End Function

Hope this is what you're looking for.

following link may be useful

two things to check...
first is check if you are making ur web-service which is behind SSL.
it can be checked by opening inetmgr and go to properties for ur web site and check for directory security tab. here u wll find secure communications and an edit button. jst click on edit and make the setting "require ssl" to uncheckd and the try.
second : jst check your code in the web-service proxy which is being used by ur asp.net application. if "http" is thr then make it https if u want secure communcations

its jst an exp. m sharing here thr might be some other causes too.. :-)

The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive.

I am still having the same error. i have tried all the code samples mentioned above but did not find any solution. I am accessing the outlook address book (exchange server) from my asp.net/C# code but getting the error on the following function

using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse())
       return response.Cookies;


F1 F1 plz

Hi,

I still have this problem, when i tried many of the codes here the error changed to "remote server failed: 404 file not found"

I am trying to call a perl script from my .NET 1.1 code, this worked fine before firewall were turned on, but then I started getting these errors when the firewall was turned on on my IIS 6.0 server

Can anyone help?

Hi How can I do this in .Net 1.1 for example .Net 1.1 does not accept this line of code
request.ProtocolVersion=HttpVersion.Version10;

Any ideas?

I met this problem these days.And I found that
if Client's System Time is defferent from Server's System Time,a exception will be thrown.
"The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive."
Hope It works for you.
