    I have a VB.Net application where I am posting to an HTTP server that has a classic asp page and I am getting the following exception

    (it's throwing the exception on line 13).  Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this?  thanks 

    :

    <EXCEPTION>

    The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error

    </EXCEPTION>

    1                            PostData = "externalID=" ID

    2                            Dim strPath As String = "http://200.000.00.00/userfiles/someclassicasppage.asp"
3                            request = CType(WebRequest.Create(strPath), HttpWebRequest)
4                            request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
5                            request.ContentLength = PostData.Length
6                            request.Method = "POST"
7                            request.AllowAutoRedirect = False
8    
9                            Dim requestStream As Stream = request.GetRequestStream()
10                           Dim postBytes As Byte() = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(PostData)
11                           requestStream.Write(postBytes, 0, postBytes.Length)
12                           requestStream.Close()
13                           response = CType(request.GetResponse(), System.Net.HttpWebResponse)

    I have something very similar - a VB.net app calling a classic ASP page. Maybe you can try my code (it works in my app in a function)

    Dim sURL As String = "http://testurl/secure/retrieve.asp?POLNUM=" & sPolNum & ""

                Dim sReturn As String = ""

        With WebRequest.Create(New Uri(sURL)).GetResponse()
            With New StreamReader(.GetResponseStream())
                sReturn = .ReadToEnd()
            End With
        End With

        Return sReturn
