How to post XML document to HTTP with VB.Net
- by Joshua McGinnis
I'm looking for help with posting my XML document to a url in VB.NET. Here's what I have so far ...
Public Shared xml As New System.Xml.XmlDocument()
Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim root As XmlElement
root = xml.CreateElement("root")
xml.AppendChild(root)
Dim username As XmlElement
username = xml.CreateElement("username")
username.InnerText = _username
root.AppendChild(username)
xml.Save(Console.Out)
Dim url = "https://mydomain.com"
Dim req As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create(url)
req.Method = "POST"
req.ContentType = "application/xml"
req.Headers.Add("Custom: API_Method")
Console.WriteLine(req.Headers.ToString())
This is where things go awry:
I want to post the xml, and then print the results to console.
Dim newStream As Stream = req.GetRequestStream()
xml.Save(newStream)
Dim response As WebResponse = req.GetResponse()
Console.WriteLine(response.ToString())
End Sub
