title: HttpWebRequest doesn't work except when fiddler is running
body: <p>This is probably the weirdest problem I have run into. I have a piece of code to submit POST to a url. The code doesn't work neither throws any exceptions when fiddler isn't running, However, when fiddler is running, the code posts the data successfuly. I have access to the post page so I know if the data has been POSTED or not. This is probably very non-sense, But it's a situation I am running into and I am very confused. </p>
  
  <pre><code>byte[] postBytes = new ASCIIEncoding().GetBytes(postData);
  HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://myURL);
  req.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/8.0.552.224 Safari/534.10";
  req.Accept = "application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5";
  req.Headers.Add("Accept-Charset", "ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3");
  req.Headers.Add("Accept-Language", "en-US,en;q=0.8");
  req.Method = "POST";
  req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
  req.ContentLength = postBytes.Length;
  req.CookieContainer = cc;
  Stream s = req.GetRequestStream();
  s.Write(postBytes, 0, postBytes.Length);
  s.Close();
  </code></pre>
