Question

I need to trigger an action on a remote server using an http POST request. The server sends a response, either Y or N, to inform me if the action suceeded or not.

I am looking at using HttpWebRequest to do this, but this seems too complex. To use this class you have to set all the headers, such as content type and content length.

Is there a quicker way to send a POST request that doesn’t require setting lower level properties such as this?

Try this WebClient

 // Create a new WebClient instance.
 WebClient myWebClient = new WebClient();
 byte[] responseArray = myWebClient.UploadData("YOUR URI","POST","DATA to be Posted");
