Dim cr As New Rebex.Net.HttpRequestCreator With {.LogWriter = New Rebex.FileLogWriter("C:\temp\rebexlog.txt")}
cr.Settings.SslAcceptAllCertificates = True
Dim Req As Rebex.Net.HttpRequest
Req = cr.Create(strUrl)
Req.Method = WebRequestMethods.Http.Post
Req.AllowAutoRedirect = True
Dim byteArray As Byte() = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(strPar)
Req.ContentLength = byteArray.Length
Using dataStream As Stream = Req.GetRequestStream()
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length)
End Using
Using response As Rebex.Net.HttpResponse = CType(Req.GetResponse(), Rebex.Net.HttpResponse)
Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream(), Encoding.UTF8)
strTemp = sr.ReadToEnd
End Using

Why does not it work?

This looks like a bug. Apparently, AllowAutoRedirect does not work properly with POST requests. We will fix this and send you a link to a hotfix soon.

Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention!

As a temporary workaround, you might handle the redirect yourself based on response.StatusCode and response.Headers("Location").

Update: This has been fixed in Rebex HTTPS 2018 R1.
