Help with Webclient

dschu012

I am trying to use someones web service to obtain lyrics for songs. I am able to use the web service via Firefox, however when I use a Webclient I do obtain the same results. An example URL of the service is

http://webservices.lyrdb.com/lookup.php?q=Aerosmith|Love%20In%20An%20Elevator&f or=match&agent=test/1.0

However if I do

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

                 using (WebClient wc = new WebClient())

                {

                    string request = wc.DownloadString("http://www.lyrdb.com/lookup.php?q=Aerosmith|Love In An Elevator&for=match&agent=test/1.0");
 
                }

The request string does not give the same results I experience in Firefox.

Have you tried using HttpWebRequest instead?

No. But I figured it out. The API tells me to use

http://www.lyrdb.com/lookup.php?q=qu...ld&agent=agent

which seems to redirect me to

http://webservices.lyrdb.com/lookup....ld&agent=agent

changing the WebClient to use the site I get redirected to fixed the problem.
