Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel

_Q12_ asked:

Open original thread
I get this error for a specific website, that they announced they made some changes a couple months ago. Now when I check it through c#.... something is not right. The other websites I check are working allright with this code.
Can someone elucidate it for me, please?
{"The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel."}



I am using this code:
// I google it and find this 3lines as being helpful - THEY ARE NOT HELPING AT ALL
            ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = true;
            ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit = 9999;
            ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Ssl3 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls; 
//(In my VS2010, I only see Ssl3 and Tls,that's it - this may be the cause?)

            HttpWebRequest request;
            HttpWebResponse response = null;
            Stream stream = null;
            request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://www.MyWebsiteToCheck.com/");
            request.UserAgent = "Foo";
            request.Accept = "*/*";

            request.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
            request.Proxy.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

//{"The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel."}
//and response is null.
            response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();//<<<here it breakes
            stream = response.GetResponseStream();

            if (stream != null) stream.Close();
            if (response != null) response.Close();

Thank you.

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
