request.Method = "POST";
string postData = "apiKey=** REMOVED **&method=risk&ip=10.10.1.1&";
byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes (postData);
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream();
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
dataStream.Close();
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
Console.WriteLine(((HttpWebResponse)response).StatusCode);
dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
string strResp = reader.ReadToEnd();
Console.WriteLine (strResp);
reader.Close ();
dataStream.Close ();
