I am unable to send "secure" emails on Sendgrid using web api. (Platform - .Net/C#, SendgridMail)
It works fine with http url (http://sendgrid.com/api/mail.send) but with https (https://sendgrid.com/api/mail.send) it fails.
private void SendMail()
{
var message = SendGrid.GenerateInstance();
//set the message recipients
message.AddTo("[email protected]");
//set the sender
message.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
//set the message body
message.Html = "<html><p>Hello</p><p>World</p></html>";
//set the message subject
message.Subject = "Hello World HTML Test";
//create an instance of the Web transport mechanism
var transportInstance = SendGridMail.Transport.REST.GetInstance(new NetworkCredential("myusername", "mypassword"),"https://sendgrid.com/api/mail.send");
//send the mail
transportInstance.Deliver(message);
}
I get an ArgumentException: Unknown element: html.
Further drilling down the code, I receive this error: "400 Bad Request, The plain HTTP request was sent to HTTPS port, nginx/0.7.65"
Note
It works fine with http url i.e : (http://sendgrid.com/api/mail.send) in GetInstance function above instead of (https://sendgrid.com/api/mail.send).
Sending email request through browser works fine: (https://sendgrid.com/api/mail.send.json?to=to%40somedomain.com1&from=from%40somdomain.com1&subject=Test%20SG%20API&text=sometext&html=%3Cb%3E%20test%20SG%20api%20body&api_user=sendgridusername&api_key=sendgridpassword)
An help on this is appreciated.

I work for SendGrid. I've done some testing and this is a limitation of the C# wrapper, specifically the CodeScales library that is being used to make the HTTP calls. CodeScales unfortunately doesn't support HTTPS at all. I have opened an issue on GitHub for this: https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-csharp/issues/21
I will start planning to refactor the app to use RestSharp for making the API calls. Sorry for the trouble!
