Invalid Uri : The uri scheme is not valid

Question

WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create(formUrl.Trim());

string url,string username,string password come from a text box. This is the full code:

public void LoginToUrl(string url,string username, string password )

 {    

 formUrl = url;    

 formParams = string.Format("username={0}&password={1}", username,password); 

WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create(formUrl.Trim());//  

req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";    

 req.Method = "POST";      

 bytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(formParams);     

req.ContentLength = bytes.Length;     

using (Stream os = req.GetRequestStream()) 

{         

os.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length); }

 WebResponse resp = req.GetResponse();     

cookieHeader = resp.Headers["Set-cookie"]; 

}

This is the POST Data:
