Hi everybody,

I have a web page where i want to get the html source of another web page. This web page is: http://s1.viastreaming.net:8000/7.html, you can see that i only want to know the name of a song.

 I try to put in my page these lines to get the html source:

protected string ObtenerWeb()
    {
        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://s1.viastreaming.net:8000/7.html");
        HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
        Stream resStream = response.GetResponseStream();
        StreamReader StreamRead = new StreamReader(resStream);
        string Contenido = StreamRead.ReadToEnd().ToString();

        return Contenido;
    }

 
And i have to add these lines in my web.config, because when they aren't in my web.config the server returns me this error: "The server committed a protocol violation. Section=ResponseStatusLine". I solve this problem adding these lines:

<system.net>
		<settings>
			<httpWebRequest useUnsafeHeaderParsing="true" />
		</settings>
	</system.net>

Ok, now I can get the response without errors, but i only can read bad characters. For example: "(In7%7GSOZ*x:2X_O\0_`߰X8E/\a՟籬\0($0E'\0՛jeB=JXzIr-!ZVOЮ)znbJ.]Xޡ7H|.f鳼Aq"

 I think that the problem is with the codification, but i don't know how i can solve it, Do you know?
 

    HI, Xavieret;

I have tested you code in my VS and it works as a charm. I believe it is some problem in codification and try to use this following code and let me know the result.  

        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://s1.viastreaming.net:8000/7.html");
       
        HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
        Stream resStream = response.GetResponseStream();
        StreamReader StreamRead = new StreamReader(resStream, Encoding.ASCII);        
        string Contenido =HttpUtility.HtmlDecode( StreamRead.ReadToEnd().ToString());

        return Contenido;

I hope the above information will be helpful. If you have any issues or concerns, please let me know. It's my pleasure to be of assistance
