Post XmlDocument via HTTP

[reffek]

I was wondering how to post an XMLDocument via HTTP using System.Xml. The response will be synchronous.

With MSXML it's simple, you just use:

Dim xmlSender As New MSXML2.XMLHTTP
xmlSender.open("POST", urlToPostTo, False)
xmlSender.send(xmlToSend.xml)

However, I can't find how to do it with System.Xml instead of MSXML. What's the System.Xml equivalent of MSXML2.XMLHTTP?

Okay, I think I figured it out:

xml is being passed here as a string of the XML doc.

Dim xmlURI As New Uri(urlToPostTo)
Dim xmlSender As HttpWebRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create(xmlURI)
xmlSender.Method = "POST"
xmlSender.ContentType = "application/x-

http://www-form-urlencoded"

Dim xmlStream As Stream = xmlSender.GetRequestStream()
Dim xmlBytes() As Byte = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(xml)
xmlStream.Write(xmlBytes, 0, xmlBytes.Length)
xmlStream.Close()
