I maybe not have an answear here but I want to reflect a thing that came to
my mind.
If we look at the query string:
string dailyimage =
"http://support.smarttelecom.ie/forums/smart_usage.php?img=daily"; 
that's for me no doubt a GET-query string, but later the HttpWebRequest
method
is set to POST (requestImage2.Method = "POST";).
So my question is: Is it possible to have both GET and POST at the same
time? If not could it be that mono identifies the method from the query
string as GET and ignores the "requestImage2.Method = "POST"" ?
