HttpWebRequest and Request.form validation error.

Hi!
I've got a problem with HttpWebRequet class.
I've to make a POST http sendind a data stream.
This data stream contains some "<" characters and so I get an internal
server error 500 described as this:

A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client...

How can I disable the validation?
I'm not using an asp.NET page, but a console application, so I can't use the
declaration
validateRequest = "false" in '<@Page >' directive.

Any suggestions?

Thx!

Disable it on the server-side or don't post hazardous content, i.e. HTML-encode
your content.

The problem wasn't in the sender procedure!
But in the remote responder!!!!
I've added the ValidateRequest attribute in the <@Page> directive, and all
works!!!!

Thx!
