I am sending gps coordinates from a windows mobile phone to a webserver using a basic program I wrote in C#. The problem is the data plan on the phone only allows 4 MB per month. I was planning on updating the location every 10 seconds. Currently I am just creating a webrequest every 10 seconds to a php page on the server and the coordi...

Need to have the server make a POST to an API, how do I add POST values to a WebRequest object and how do I send it and get the response (it will be a string) out?

I'm currently developping an app that is going through all the files on a server and checking every single hrefs to check wether they are valid or not. Using a WebClient or a HttpWebRequest/HttpWebResponse is kinda overkilling the process because it downloads the whole page each time, which is useless, I only need to check if the link do...
I had a project that required posting a 2.5 million character QueryString to a web page. The server itself only parsed URI's that were 5,400 characters or less. After trying several different sets of code for WebRequest/WebResponse, WebClient, and Sockets, I finally found the following code that solved my problem: HttpWebRequest webRe...

I want to write a DotNetNuke module that can take an HTML form and parse or transform it into an asp.net form that would then do a HTTPPost to the page specified in the HTML Form's action property.

Hello Everyone, Let's say I have a url to a streaming data source (for example a stream of updated weather data) and I know this url works with GET (I verified that it does return steaming data). The stream is compressed with GZIP, each "message" begins with a 1 byte id, a 2 byte part containing the message length, then another 2...
Tonight I started a small project trying to create a C# library to access the Google Storage API. When you create any kind of request to the Google Storage API, you have to include the "Date" header in the web request. I tried to create a WebRequest in C#, and noticed that I couldn't set the "Date" header manually. According to this M...
Is it possible for a windows mobile phone to use WebRequest to connect to a windows client application. I mean an actual windows forms application.

I was wondering if it is even possible to interact with other websites using my own. Here is the scenario: Lets say I have a Lockerz account, which is a place where you do daily tasks to earn points. Once a month you can redeem those points to get prizes such as an ipod, macbook, or other items. I know that sounds rediculous, but stay...

I wrote this method to test for credentials but I dunno why when it goes to the GetResponse method is actually goes and runs the webservice. I just want it to test if the credentials for that web service are correct or not. private bool TestCredentials(string sURL, ref string sUsername, ref string sPassword) { bool ret...
I was trying to use httpwebrequest to use a rest like service on a remote server and from the first execution itself, my code was hanging the program. Then I tried it as a console application to make sure it has nothing to do with the program itself but no luck! string credentialsJson = @"{""username"":""test"", ...
I'm new to VBscript so there is probably a very simple solution to this. Basically, I have my main page with buttons that really just act as links to other pages. In the links I wanted to pass information, so I use the standard ?variable=value like so: <input type="button" name="saveButton" value="Save Systems" onclick="location.href='...
I have a admin page in asp.net that adds data to a database. This database is available as a JSON string to external websites, however, since it's a lot of data, the external websites cache this data locally. I want to be able to ping the external websites to let them know the data has changed so they can referesh their cache. I figure ...
