[.net] Cannot send a content-body with this verb-type

I just got this exception (ProtocolViolationException) in my .NET 2.0 app (running on windows mobile 6 standard emulator). What confuses me is that as far as i know, I have not added any content body, unless I've inadvertently done it somehow. My code is below (very simple). Is there anything else i need to do to convince .NET that this is just a http GET?

Thanks, brian

//run get and grab response
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(get.AbsoluteUri + args);
request.Method = "GET";
Stream stream = request.GetRequestStream();           // <= explodes here
XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(stream);

Please set the request Content Type before you read the response stream;

 request.ContentType = "text/xml";

Because you didn't specify the Header.

I've added an extended example:

var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(strServer + strURL.Split('&')[1].ToString());

Header(ref request, p_Method);

And the method Header:

private void Header(ref HttpWebRequest p_request, string p_Method)
{
    p_request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
    p_request.Method = p_Method;
    p_request.UserAgent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE)";
    p_request.Host = strServer.Split('/')[2].ToString();
    p_request.Accept = "*/*";
    if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(strURLReferer))
    {
        p_request.Referer = strServer;
    }
    else
    {
        p_request.Referer = strURLReferer;
    }
    p_request.Headers.Add("Accept-Language", "en-us\r\n");
    p_request.Headers.Add("UA-CPU", "x86 \r\n");
    p_request.Headers.Add("Cache-Control", "no-cache\r\n");
    p_request.KeepAlive = true;
}

I had the similar issue using Flurl.Http:

Flurl.Http.FlurlHttpException: Call failed. Cannot send a content-body with this verb-type. GET http://******:8301/api/v1/agents/**** ---> System.Net.ProtocolViolationException: Cannot send a content-body with this verb-type.

The problem was I used .WithHeader("Content-Type", "application/json") when creating IFlurlRequest.
