Question

I need to post a tab delimited file via the https post request. I need to be able to do this in asp.net VB. I have found various methods in C# however as I am still rather new to asp.net VB I certainly do not have the ability to translate the C# version.

Any examples or links to examples would be greatly appreciated. The link it posts to is password and username protected. I need to post the file in the message body. Below is an example request that it needs to produce:

 Post <URL> 
 Authorization: Basis <Encoded Username & Password>
 Content-Type: text/xml
 <Parameter>: <Value>
 message-body: <Data>

Thanks in advance for your time all

Can you clarify what you mean by saying “I need to post a tab delimited file via the https post request”? and I will update this.

Hope it helps.
