How can I write an XML on my hard drive to GetRequestStream
- by swolff1978
I need to post raw xml to a site and read the response. With the following code I keep getting an "Unknown File Format" error and I'm not sure why.
XmlDocument sampleRequest = new XmlDocument();
sampleRequest.Load(@"C:\SampleRequest.xml");
byte[] bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(sampleRequest.ToString());
string uri = "https://www.sample-gateway.com/gw.aspx";
req = WebRequest.Create(uri);
req.Method = "POST";
req.ContentLength = bytes.Length;
req.ContentType = "text/xml";
using (var requestStream = req.GetRequestStream())
{
requestStream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
}
// Send the data to the webserver
rsp = req.GetResponse();
XmlDocument responseXML = new XmlDocument();
using (var responseStream = rsp.GetResponseStream())
{
responseXML.Load(responseStream);
}
I am fairly certain my issue is what/how I am writing to the requestStream so..
How can I modify that code so that I may write an xml located on the hard drive to the request stream?
