The follow code (running in ASP.Net 2.0) displays the contents of the requested URL twice. I only want it to display the contents of the requested URL once. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. The URL requested is returning XML and if I visit the URL directly, it works fine.
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
byte[] postDataBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/xml";
request.ContentLength = postDataBytes.Length;
Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream();
requestStream.Write(postDataBytes, 0, postDataBytes.Length);
requestStream.Close();
// get response and write to console
response = (HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse();
StreamReader responseReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream(), Encoding.UTF8);
try {
Response.Write(responseReader.ReadToEnd());
}
finally {
responseReader.Close();
}
response.Close();
