Answer 1

I’ve just checked, and your code returns a myhttpWebResponse with Status = “OK” and ContentLenght = 0, so everything was OK – it is just the server that returned no-data-at-all. The question is, why. Maybe you did not add some headers that are required by it?

I’ve just tried with setting:

string url = "http://cyprus.angloinfo.com/";

string html = string.Empty;
HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url);
myHttpWebRequest.UserAgent = "yummy";
HttpWebResponse myHttpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse)myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse();
StreamReader myStreamReader = new StreamReader(myHttpWebResponse.GetResponseStream());
html = myStreamReader.ReadToEnd();

Label1.Text = html;

and the page seems to download properly. BTW. Why don’t you use WebClient class instead? You’d have less problems in case of sessions and redirects..
