Submitting XML to an URL

[Vi]

hello,
I'm not sure this is the right place for this question, but hopefully
somebody can help.
I'm trying to build an in-memory XML file and submit it to an URL. Here's a
sample code:

//================================================== ==
HttpWebRequest request =
(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://localhost/localurl.aspx");
request.ContentType="application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
request.Method = "POST";

Stream myStream = request.GetRequestStream();
XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(myStream, null);

writer.WriteStartElement("orders");
writer.WriteAttributeString("value","205");
writer.WriteEndElement();

writer.Flush();
myStream.Close();
//================================================== ==

For some reason, the URL I'm submitting to does not receive the XML.
Anybody has any ideas why?

Thnks in advance.

a) I'm assuming you're using GetResponse() at the end, right?

b) If your content encoding is application/x-www-form-urlencoded, then the
way you're sending it is probably not correct. the way you're writing it is
usually used for text/xml instead.
