Hi. I'm new here. I used to do cold fusion development a long time ago. I now work for a security consulting company. I have been tasked with providing a client a way to distribute data over https. I'm providing this solution to asp.net developers. I've figured out how to use webclient to screen scrap what's on a web page, save it to a variable and then output it. My issue is I get an error when trying to do this over https with a self signed certificate. I've looked up documentation on WebClient, but I can't figure out how to tell it accept a self signed certificate. Can anyone explain this in detail? Possibly a code example. I know I'm asking for a lot. I'd describe my asp.net skills as beginner.
thanks

VB.NET:
Dim req as New WebClient()
Dim myCache As New CredentialCache()
Dim link as String
link = "https://myserver:myport"
myCache.Add(New Uri(link), "Basic", _
New NetworkCredential("user", "password"))
req.Credentials = myCache
Dim results as String
results = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(req.DownloadData(link))
