    According to the RFC

    10.4.7 406 Not Acceptable

    The resource identified by the request
    is only capable of generating response
    entities which have content
    characteristics not acceptable
    according to the accept headers sent
    in the request.

    Review the accept headers that your request is sending , and the content server in that URL ; )

    BONUS

    • To see the accept headers: browse to
      the URL and use FireBug (HTML tab).

    • To set the accept headers into your
      request use the HttpWebRequest
      Members      .
