Question

I am getting a “DOS” instead of the html string ….

let getHtmlBasic (uri :System.Uri ) =
    use client = new WebClient()
    client.DownloadString( uri)


let uri = System.Uri( "http://www.b-a-r-f.com/" )
getHtmlBasic uri

This gives a string, “DOS”

Lol what the ?

All other websites seems to work …

let req =  (WebRequest.Create(uri)) :?> HttpWebRequest
// 'use' is equivalent to ‘using’ in C# for an IDisposable
req.UserAgent<-"Mozilla"
