Hi,
I would like to ask a question .
i need to write a code that connects to a site (for example
www.example.com)
by with a different host (for exapmple www.something.com) .
i read in msdn that i can not change the host with WebRequest.
i did a search in the web and i found in google groups a code that
seems like an answer .
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework/browse_thread/thread/17c5369520221c8/4e768c733ad2f451?q=HttpWebRequest+and+Host+Header&rnum=1#4e768c733ad2f451
i tried to write this like "Dave P" suggested but i get and error "The
remote server returned an error: (502) Bad Gateway."
so i read more an i found that this error created because of proxy
error.

can some one please help me with this problem .

The Code i wrote is :

ASCIIEncoding encoding = new ASCIIEncoding();
string postData =
"ltmpl=login&continue=https://adwords.google.com/select/gaiaauth&followup=https://adwords.google.com/select/gaiaauth&service=adwords&nui=3&fpui=1&ifr=true&rm=hide&ltmpl=login&hl=en-US&alwf=true&GA3T=pGTxzAH_vFg&Email=advertis***@compile.co.il&Passwd=moman81&null=Sign
in";
            byte[] data = encoding.GetBytes(postData);
            string url = "http://www.something.com";
            HttpWebRequest myRequest =
(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
            myRequest.Proxy = new
WebProxy("http://www.example.com",false);
            myRequest.Method = "POST";
            myRequest.AllowAutoRedirect = true;
            myRequest.ContentType =
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
            myRequest.ContentLength = data.Length;
            Stream newStream = myRequest.GetRequestStream();
            // Send the data.
            newStream.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
            newStream.Close();
            WebResponse myResponse = myRequest.GetResponse();
            Stream ReceiveStream = myResponse.GetResponseStream();
            Encoding encode =
System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8");
            StreamReader readStream = new StreamReader(ReceiveStream,
encode);
            string str = readStream.ReadToEnd();
            readStream.Close();
            myResponse.Close();
