//Encoding encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1");
byte[] bytes = encoding.GetBytes(postData);
stream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);

1. It might be useful to know that to get the encoding for DOS text it will mostly work fine with Encoding.GetEncoding(“ibm850”) (also known as “Western European (DOS)” at this site: http://a4esl.org/c/charset.html).
