    Ok, I am trying to attach a certificate to a httpwebrequest and send it.
    After some debugging on the server-side I have noticed that the certificate
    is not being sent at all. And the problem is that i get no error on the
    client code while doing the attaching. what could be wrong? If I browse to
    the url in IE works fine!

      Dim h as httpwebrequest
      h = Ctype(WebRequest.Create(strsecureurl), httpwebrequest)
      Dim mycert as X509Certificate =
    X509Certificate.CreateFromCertFile("c:\mycert.cer")
      h.clientcertificates.add(mycert)

      h.contenttype = "text/xml"
      h.method = "GET"

      Dim hr as httpwebresponse = Ctype(h.getresponse(), httpwebresponse)
      Dim s2 as stream = hr.getresponsestream()
      Dim sr as new streamreader(s2)
      returnstr = sr.readtoend()
      sr.close()

    any help would be much appreciated.

    thanks,
    Param
