For several reasons i don’t want to use the Google Analytics javascript code for my transactions but a server-side solution. I’ve made a C# function that makes a web request to the Google servers.
When a make a request for a transaction I get the following:

What is going wrong here? The above are the requests made to the servers with te corresponding statuscodes. I am getting a statuscode 200 OK but in Analytics Ecommerce my transactions are not showing.
In the mean time i’ve trying and trying and trying. And then i found the solution.
I missed some parameters for the cookiestring.
I’ve made a C# wrapper for this which will be up on codeproject soon. When it is i’ll post the link for those of you who could use it.
