I have come up with 2 procedures for posting/receiving data via an http post. One posts with parameters on the url the other as form data.
I have an https url that accepts a single parameter that is xml, and the response is also xml.
in the browser it works fine, and I even have some vb6 code that works as well.
neither of the vb.net post routines below work however, I always get an underlying error has occurred, connection closed.
I have modified each routine to do GET and POST, I have sent as clear test and urlencoded the xml parameter
