Question

I am trying to pass an exception to an HttpHandler by doing the following:

catch (Exception e)
{
    byte[] exceptionData;

    MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
    BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter(null, new StreamingContext(StreamingContextStates.Persistence));
    formatter.Serialize(stream, e);
    exceptionData = stream.ToArray();

    WebClient client = new WebClient();
    Uri handler = new Uri(ApplicationUri, "TransferException.axd");

    #if DEBUG
    ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += new RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(BypassAllCertificateStuff);
    #endif

    try
    {
        client.UploadData(handler, exceptionData);
    }
    catch (WebException) { }
}

EDIT

I am getting the following exception on the client.UploadData() line.
“Content-Length or Chunked Encoding cannot be set for an operation that does not write data.”

EDIT

Even if I change my call to be client.UploadString(location, “THIS IS A TEST!”); it still fails with the same exception.

It turns out this was due to a .Net registered AXD handler. When I changed the extension to .axdx everything started working.
