I'm trying to connect to the Freshdesk API from asp.net but I'm getting the following error:




Authentication failed because the remote party has closed the transport stream.




The code I am using is as follows.  Any help is greatly appreciated!




Thanks.




Dim Authorization As String = Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes("apikey:x"))


Dim wHeader As WebHeaderCollection = New WebHeaderCollection()


wHeader.Clear()


wHeader.Add("Authorization","Basic " + Authorization)




Dim wRequest As HttpWebRequest = CType(System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create("https://xxxxxx.freshdesk.com/api/v2/tickets"), HttpWebRequest)


wRequest.Headers = wHeader


wRequest.ContentType = "application/json; charset=utf-8"


wRequest.Method = "GET"




Dim wResponse As HttpWebResponse = CType(wRequest.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)

FYI, I fixed this by specifying the security protocol:
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls11;
