Hello, help with a problem.

use the code:

B4X:
Request.New1 ( "http://www.tumblr.com/api/write") 
 Request.Method = "POST" 
 Request.KeepAlive = True 
 Request.ContentType = "application / x-www-form-urlencoded" 
stream.New1 (Request.GetStream, True) 
 name = "email = mail & password = pass"
stream.WriteBytes (stream.StringToBytes (name)) 
 Response.New1 
 Request.GetAsyncResponse
looked request header :
POST / api / write HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application / x-www-form-urlencoded
Host: Tumblr
Content-Length: 107
Expect: 100-continue
Connection: Keep-Alive

on that server is responsible:
417 Expectation Failed
The expectation given in the Expect request-header
field could not be met by this server.
The client sent
Expect: 100-continue
but we only allow the 100-continue expectation.

How to fix that does not send Expect?

Thanks.

Try this using the Door library. It will only work on .NET 2.0 on a device (if it works at all!). Obj1 is a Door library Object.
B4X:
Obj1.New1(False)
...   
Request.New1(URL)
Obj1.FromLibrary (Request, "req", B4PObject(2))
Obj1.Value = Obj1.GetProperty("ServicePoint")
Obj1.SetPproperty("Expect100Continue", False)
...

use code:
B4X:
    response.New1
    Obj1.New1(False)
    request.New3("http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml",tbUser.Text,tbPass.Text)
    
    Obj1.FromLibrary ("Main.Request", "req", B4PObject(2))
    Obj1.Value = Obj1.GetProperty("ServicePoint")
    Obj1.SetProperty("Expect100Continue", False)    

    request.Method = "POST"
    request.TimeOut = 30000

    writer.New1(Request.GetStream,False) 
    Parameters = "status=" & tbStatus.Text
    writer.WriteBytes(writer.StringToBytes(Parameters))
    Response.Value = Request.GetResponse 
    temp = Response.GetString 
    Response.Close
    Msgbox(temp)
on the desktop works fine on device error: NullReferenceException, with it not even trying to connect to the Internet, help me please understand.

It took a lot of headscratching until I noticed this small sentence in MSDN for the ServicePoint property of a HttpWebRequest.
Windows Mobile for Pocket PC, Windows Mobile for Smartphone, Windows CE Platform Note: This property is null until the request is sent because of the additional network transmission required.
So unfortunately it looks like this won't work on a device :(

Thanks for the info, it's sad that it will not work on devices, I grieved very much and wanted to write a client for Twitter.

but you might try to use the ServicePointManager class
That's what the Door library code I posted above does - and it works on the desktop. The problem is that on the device the ServicePoint is not actually assigned until GetResponse is called and then it is too late. The actual C# code in the SubmitResponse method of HttpWebRequest on the device is
B4X:
...
 ServicePoint point = ServicePointManager.FindServicePoint(this.m_url, setProxy);
    this.[COLOR="Red"]m_srvPoint [/COLOR]= point;[COLOR="Green"] // ServicePoint assigned[/color]
    this.prepareHeaders();
    this.m_requestSent = true;
    if (this.m_boundConnection != null)
    {
        this.m_boundConnection.m_srvPoint = point;
        this.m_boundConnection.[COLOR="red"]submitRequest[/COLOR](this);[COLOR="Green"] // send request[/COLOR]
    }
    else
    {
        point.SubmitRequest(this, this.GetConnectionGroupLine());
    }
and there is no way to get in the middle to play with the ServicePoint.

Do you think that it is related to the Expect header? Can you see the actual request in the server logs?

Log from the server can not see, but HttpAnalyzer see the sent and received information.

On the desktop, sent:
