        ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = new 
        RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(delegate(object sender2, X509Certificate

            return true;
        });
        string url = "https://www.picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/default";
        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
        request.Method = "POST";
        request.ContentType = "application/atom+xml";
        request.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.Authorization, "AuthSub token=\"" + 
        Session["token"].ToString() + "\"");
        request.Headers.Add("GData-Version", "2.0");
        byte[] send = System.Text.UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(content);
        request.ContentLength = send.Length;
        int bytesRead = 0;
        Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream();
        while (send.Length - bytesRead > 1)
            requestStream.Write(send, bytesRead++ , 1); //Edited
        requestStream.Close();
        HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
        StreamReader responseReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());

        string responseStr = responseReader.ReadToEnd();

please help 🙂

Look at the code

while (send.Length - bytesRead > 1)
        requestStream.Write(send, 0, bytesRead++);

Here you’re sending the first byte, then the first two, then the first three, and so on. Try the following instead (not tested):

for(int i=0;i<send.Length;i++){
  requestStream.Write(send,i,1);
  bytesRead++;
}
