  How to Handle a 500 Error on a WebClient UploadData?

  Apr 08, 2004 10:38 PM|LINK

  Hello all, I'm trying to POST an XML file to Amazon.com. If there is an error in your XML file they report a 500 error but also pass back an XML file describing the error. However when I make the request responseArray = myWebClient.UploadData(URI, "POST", bytAuth) That line reports the 500 error and stops the code from executing. Any ideas how I can continue on and read the XML out of this? (I am able to make a successful POST, but now and trying to do another post with a different piece of XML so its not the tranmission code, it in the XML)

  You need to URLEncode the XML string data, and then on the server side that recieves the post, it must URLDecode the XML back in to valid XML. Do this using either the HttpServerUtility class, or the HttpUtility class.
