Hi,
I need to a HttpWebRequest to send a Post/Get Request to a SSL secured web site. But, the SSL certificate is not one of the installed ones, so the phone cannot really connect to the server, and just throws a "not found"-exception. When I download the certificate, send it to my phone via email and install it, it works. No here is my question: how can I fix this, or circumvent the ms restrictions.
If you have an idea, please tell me...

Issue a certificate from 3rd party authority and do not use self signed certificates.You can buy certificate from VerySign for example for your WebServer.

You can't use StartSSl free certificate because Root authority of the StartSSL servers is not installed in our devices.
Because VerySign certificates are very expensive you can try GeoTrust or RapidSSL

It is not possible to change the certificate because the server, to where i want to send the request is a wifi router, with a self signed ssl certificate...

There is no way to circumvent the cert check via code. The only thing you can do is to install the cert on the phone.
