Create HTTP post request and receive response using C# console application

Question

I need to post data to a URL (https://somesite.com) to download file in responseStrem based on the parameters I posted. How can I do that using a C# console application?

Answer 1

HttpWebRequest request =(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("some url");
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
request.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 7.1; Trident/5.0)";
request.Accept = "/";
request.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
request.Proxy.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
doc.Save(request.GetRequestStream());
HttpWebResponse resp = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse;

Hope it helps
