[RESOLVED] Make a Get Web Request

I need to make a single GET request using httpWebRequest class.

I was wondering do i need to get response necessary or making only request is enough?

Code:

---

Dim req As HttpWebRequest = CType(WebRequest.Create("http://www.service.com/receiver.aspx?param=value&param2=value"), HttpWebRequest)

---

or i have to get the response anyway?


Btw, what is the default value of the HttpWebRequest Method? Is it Get or just nothing?

EDIT: Response is necessary ! Thanks

Look in the comments of this page

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ebrequest.aspx

It is pretty self-explanatory :D

Code:

---

// Create an HttpWebRequest using WebRequest.Create (see .NET docs)!
        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);

// Execute the request and obtain the response stream
        HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
        Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();

---

Means just saying webrequest.Create(uri) it does nothing

Thanks for the reply it is much appreciated!
