I'm trying to post data to the net, now i've tried using both the HttpWebRequest/Response and the WebClient classes and they didn't seem to work, as a test I sent the requests to a local port and sent the request to the screen, in both instances (WebClient and HttpWebRequest) the post data was not sent with the request, just the headers two CRLF's, but then not data, has anyone else found similar problems? and / or a solution?

I wrote an HTTP Proxy Server in VB6 using the winsock control, I have the code still and will try and run it through the upgrade wizard and see what comes out. This could help solve your problem, but I can make no promises it will even upgrade. I'll keep you posted!

I guess Lee misunderstood your problem. He talked about hidden fields (not forms) and using them you could send data from client to server. But if I understand you want to send data from server to server, that is 'push data', using HTTP POST. But me neither have an idea what could be the problem. :(

Sorry for my ignorange, but huh? Also even though I'm not sure what hidden forms are I think that that may not work, I'm trying to write a http proxy server using the httpwebrequest stuff, so at this stage I've not needed forms, or bay saying what I've just said does that in fact display an even greater level of ignorance? Thanks in advance for any clarification

Use hidden fields within the form, put the data you want to pass into them. Good luck.
