I know it is pretty simple to add a certificate to a HttpWebRequest. However, I have not found a way to do the equivalent using WebClient. Basically, I want to send out a POST with a specific certificate using WebClient.
How would you accomplish this exact code using WebClient:
var request = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create("my-url"); request.Method = "POST"; request.ClientCertificates.Add(new X509Certificate()); //add cert

The WebClient class uses the WebRequest class to provide access to resources. WebClient instances can access data with any WebRequest descendant registered with the WebRequest. RegisterPrefix method. UploadString Sends a String to the resource and returns a String containing any response.
var url = "https://your-url.tld/expecting-a-post.aspx" var client = new WebClient(); var method = "POST"; // If your endpoint expects a GET then do it. var parameters = new NameValueCollection(); parameters. Add("parameter1", "Hello world"); parameters. Add("parameter2", "www.stopbyte.com"); parameters.
The WebClient class provides common methods for sending data to or receiving data from any local, intranet, or Internet resource identified by a URI. The WebClient class uses the WebRequest class to provide access to resources.
You must subclass and override one or more functions.
class MyWebClient : WebClient { protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri address) { HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)base.GetWebRequest(address); request.ClientCertificates.Add(new X509Certificate()); return request; } } If you love us?
