I'd like to GET the page inside an HTTPWEBREQUEST Class, but it doesn't seem
to like GET as the Method.

Keeps displaying the following error.

Cannot send a content-body with this verb-type.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the
current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information
about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Net.ProtocolViolationException: Cannot send a
content-body with this verb-type.

Source Error:

Line 25: ' Add body to request
Line 26: objRequest.ContentLength = arrRequest.Length
Line 27: strmRequest = objRequest.GetRequestStream()
Line 28: strmRequest.Write( arrRequest, 0, arrRequest.Length )
Line 29: strmRequest.Close()

Sub Button_Click( s As Object, e As EventArgs )
Dim objRequest As HttpWebRequest
Dim strRequest As String
Dim arrRequest As Byte()

Dim strmRequest As Stream

Dim srResponse As StreamReader

' Initialize request object
objRequest = CType( WebRequest.Create( txtMessage.Text.ToString() ),
HttpWebRequest )
objRequest.Method = "GET"
objRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

' Create request body
strRequest = "Message=" & Server.UrlEncode( txtMessage.Text )
objUTF8Encoding = New UTF8Encoding
arrRequest = objUTF8Encoding.GetBytes( strRequest )

' Add body to request
objRequest.ContentLength = arrRequest.Length
strmRequest = objRequest.GetRequestStream()
strmRequest.Write( arrRequest, 0, arrRequest.Length )
strmRequest.Close()

' Get response
objResponse = objRequest.GetResponse()
srResponse = New StreamReader( objResponse.GetResponseStream(),
Encoding.ASCII )
lblResponse.Text = srResponse.ReadToEnd()
srResponse.Close()
End Sub

Ideas?

I'm not sure you can do this with the HttpWebRequest classes. I think you
might have to go a little lower and either use the TcpClient or a Socket.

Jim,

Try using a POST. When using the GET method the input
data must be URL encoded, not encoded in the payload
like you do with a POST. Here is an example of a valid
GET request via HTTP:

    C: GET /test.aspx?z=a&y=b&x=c HTTP/1.0
    C:
    C:

Notice how the values are encoded in the GET request.
