In HttpWebRequest a user can pass Method as Post OR Get OR Put OR DELETE etc.

But for our specific project I need to pass HttpMethod as "POST /api/login HTTP/1.0".

But this is not allowed in .NET CF.

Then can any one tell me workaround for this please for customizing Http Method.

Thanks in advance.

The reason that this isn't allowed in .NET CF is because it's nonsensical: there isn't a HttpMethod matching what you listed.

I think you are mistaken. Your method is POST, your target url is /api/login and the protocol is HTTP/1.0. So, you should be making a HttpWebRequest to that Url.

Hi Dan, Thanks for your reply. But this is possible in Objective C. So, is there any way around for this.
It may be possible in objective C, but that doesn't mean it's valid. A HttpMethod with that value isn't allowed by the Http spec.

Like the manual states:

The Method property can be set to any of the HTTP 1.1 protocol verbs: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE, TRACE, or OPTIONS.

So simply use hbWebRequest.Method = "POST";.
