HttpWebRequest Syntax for Post method.

[sd110404]

Hello,

Can someone please help me put this in place.

I have an external api that I am connecting to, to update some data (which is in XML format).

I have the following set of code to update the data

XmlElement ticket = doc["Ticket"]; // doc is xmldoc

foreach (XmlNode node in ticket.GetElementsByTagName("Custom_Field"))
{
if (node.Attributes["display-name"] != null && node.Attributes["display-name"].Value == "Summary")
{
node.InnerText = txtComment.Text; // overwriting my comment for summary
break;
}
}

I am not sure in using HTTPWebRequest and post method. to post these changes back to the uri.

I hope I am clear with my query. Please let me know if I should provide more info. Thanks for any help.

My guess the element you might miss is the way you set up the post data. This is how.
[1] Identify the request form variable name, figuratively say, x.
[2] Set up the buffer byte[] like this.
[tt] byte[] buffer=Encoding.Default.GetBytes("x="+ticket.OuterXml); //import System.Text[/tt]
[3] The rest is fairly standard stuff with HttpWebRequest, Stream, HttpWebResponse, StreamReader...etc.
