I want to add a body to a HttpWebRequest that is being used with the Azure Service management API. The body needs to be made up of the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ChangeConfiguration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/windowsazure">
   <Configuration>base-64-encoded-configuration-file</Configuration>
   <TreatWarningsAsError>true|false</TreatWarningsAsError>
