hello helper
I have a problem in passing a string to the http post site. the code example i have converted string to byte and send it to the http site. The problem with that is the http post site does not understand the encoding. So I want to know is there a way i can pass a string without converting it to byte? Thank you very much

Here is the code i have:

byte [] bytes = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(postData);
req.ContentLength = bytes.Length;
System.IO.Stream os = req.GetRequestStream();
os.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);

Here's how to do a post using c#

private string HttpPost(string URI, string Parameters) 
{
   System.Net.WebRequest req = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(URI);
   req.Proxy = new System.Net.WebProxy(ProxyString, true);

   req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
   req.Method = "POST";

   byte [] bytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Parameters);
   req.ContentLength = bytes.Length;

   System.IO.Stream os = req.GetRequestStream ();
   os.Write (bytes, 0, bytes.Length); 
   os.Close ();

   System.Net.WebResponse resp = req.GetResponse();
   if (resp== null) return null;

   System.IO.StreamReader sr = new System.IO.StreamReader(resp.GetResponseStream());
   return sr.ReadToEnd().Trim();
}

Hope this helps,
