httprequest Post Times out.

[dashley]

Hi, I'm trying to do an HTTP Post Request. The user guide says I should send this

My code keep timing out. I'm not sure if I'm making the request correctly.



Here's the code [at bottom] I'm trying. Keeping in mind I don't use HTTP request much. I usually do vb.net vb desktop dev.
I've been struggling with this off and on for many hours and would appreciate any help or samples.

        Dim Req As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create(Uri)


        Req.Headers.Add("client_id", "4e502cbc-a55f-4341-a498-69cfbe19ee7b")
        Req.Headers.Add("&clientSecret", "Pe48Q~cFymJUFQxw7oTy_eCgQqBUdlG_KifyOcY6")

        Req.ContentType = ("application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
        Req.Method = ("POST")


        Dim response = Req.GetResponse().GetResponseStream()
        Dim reader As New StreamReader(response)
        Dim res = reader.ReadToEnd()
        reader.Close()
        response.Close()

How long is the timeout period, and does it seem reasonable to you? If you get the timeout quick, and expect to take longer, then that would be unreasonable. If you get the timeout eventually, and expect to connect quickly, that would be unreasonable.

There is a way to increase the timeout interval, but doing so won't help if waiting long enough doesn't seem likely to be the problem.

Yes I can increase it. Perhaps I should have phrased my question better.

Does the code look correct? I'm not sure what I'm doing . Trying to learn it.

I issue was cause by a NAT that consolidated my household IP's and farmed it out on one address. I'= use starlink for an ISP. When I pulled thier cable and switchd over to my Iphone hot spot everything worked fine. Sigh.
