title: Sending a request to an URL
body: <p>I'm trying to send a request to my phone at my desk. I can do it in my browser simply by entering in the following: </p>
  
  <pre><code>http://ip.address/cgi-bin/api-make_call?phonenumber="number"&amp;account="account"&amp;password="password"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works fine and makes an outbound call to the "number"</p>
  
  <p>I've tried this using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>WebRequest request = HttpWebRequest.Create("http://ip.address/cgi-bin/api-make_call?phonenumber=phonenumber");
  request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(account, password);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've used HTTPWebResponse and get something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{"response":"error", "body": ""}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I'm unsure what to make of that.</p>
