WebException.TrustFailure from HttpwebRequest

[G Joseph]

Hello,
I am getting a WebException.TrustFailure when I call
HttpwebRequest.GetResponse. Anybody has an idea how to
resolve this issue? The code works correctly in other
sites. I noticed that, when I browse to the site using
IE, I am getting a security Alert messagebox prompting to
accept the certificate. Is there a relationship between
this two problems? How can I resolve it?

Thanks

Yes, that's likely a problem for your code as well. It seems the
framework's default certificate policy rejects that particular
certificate. Check out
