Hi,

As the title implies I have a simple WebRequest that works fine doing Gets
to a website but it fails with "The remote server returned an error: (504)
Gateway Timeout". when I tried a POST operation to the same website....here
is a snippet of code I use for the request:

  private static WebResponse FGPostRequest( string uri, string postData )
  {
   ASCIIEncoding encoding = new ASCIIEncoding();
   byte[] postDataBytes = encoding.GetBytes( postData );

   HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create( uri );
   request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
   request.UserAgent = "SomeClient/" +
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString();
   request.ContentLength = postDataBytes.Length;
   request.Method = "POST";
   request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";


   using( System.IO.Stream stream = request.GetRequestStream() )
   {
    stream.Write( postDataBytes, 0, postDataBytes.Length );
   }

   return request.GetResponse();
  }

To clarify it isn't actually me who has the problem it's one of my
customers. The test works fine on my machine, but fails on his.

Any ideas guys?

Lee
