I tried some ways to get the page source code of the following website http://www.poppe-bedrijfswagens.nl. This website has a auto redirection set I think.

I tried following ways:

WebClient client = new WebClient();
string sourceCode = "";
sourceCode = client.DownloadString(address);

And

HttpWebRequest myWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(address);
myWebRequest.AllowAutoRedirect = true;
myWebRequest.Method = "GET";

// make request for web page
HttpWebResponse myWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse)myWebRequest.GetResponse();
StreamReader myWebSource = new StreamReader(myWebResponse.GetResponseStream());
string myPageSource = myWebSource.ReadToEnd();
myWebResponse.Close();

I always get the source code of the first page but i need to get the source code of the page that the website redirected to.

The redirection for http://www.poppe-bedrijfswagens.nl is:

Type of redirect: “meta refresh” redirect after 0 second
Redirected to: http://www.poppe-bedrijfswagens.nl/daf-html/dealer_homepage.html

thanks in advance

    The AllowAutoRedirect property is relevant when the redirection is done with an HTTP status code 302. A meta refresh isn’t technically a redirection because you are loading the first page.

    You can download the first page though and then search the DOM for the element you’re interested in <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=HTTP://WWW.NEXT-URL.COM"> and then download the page you’re interested in.
