Question

I am using C# download method to download an image the image gets downloaded but its no use its empty or what we say corrupt image does not open.

The issue is the image has unusual link :

http://www.example.com/image1.php

Instead of others like :

http://www.example.com/img1.jpg

So how to download such images, if i go to the image using browser and click save as its downloads fine.

Code:

 System.Net.WebClient client = new System.Net.WebClient();
 picname = "testingimage";
 client.DownloadFile(imagepath, filepath + picname + ".jpg");

Let me know if there is some other ways to do it rite.

Image url :

<img src="http://www.abx.com/img1.php" alt="http://www.abx.com/img1.php" class="decoded">

I SOLVED IT BUT USING A LONG ROUTE CREATE ANOTHER THREAD TO LOGIN GOTO THAT PAGE AND SAVE THE IMAGE USING WEBBROWSER CONTROL :

Code to save Image:

 IHTMLDocument2 doc = (IHTMLDocument2)webBrowser1.Document.DomDocument;
                    IHTMLControlRange imgRange = (IHTMLControlRange)((HTMLBody)doc.body).createControlRange();
 string imagename = string.Empty;
 try
 {
 foreach (IHTMLImgElement img in doc.images)
   {
     imgRange.add((IHTMLControlElement)img);
     imgRange.execCommand("Copy", false, null);
     using (Bitmap bmp = (Bitmap)Clipboard.GetDataObject().GetData(DataFormats.Bitmap))
        {
            bmp.Save(@"c:\testImage\TestPic.jpg");
        }
     imagename = img.nameProp;
     break;

   }
 }
 catch (System.Exception aaa)
 {

 }
