spaces, pipelins etc. in a url string

[Moshe Foobar]

Hi,
When i save a url into a string :
string myURL = @"http://www.allmusic.co m/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&s ql=2surfer|rosa ";

but when i d/l this page :

WebClient myClient = new WebClient();
StreamReader sr = new
StreamReader(my Client.OpenRead _searchAlbum),S ystem.Text.Enco ding.Unicode);
string result = sr.ReadToEnd();
string result = sr.ReadToEnd();

its seems that the pipeline "|" turnd into %c7 and the spaces turned
to %20

how can I fix that ?

Hi,

Does this give you error?
It's the expected result, the query string is encoded according to the http
protocol. It should not give you error, though.

Hope this help,

urldecode takes a string that has %20 and %c7 and transform them to
spaces and | but this is not my case.
The thing is that for some reason the string i send to the
StreamReader changes in some sort of way to a string with %20 and %c7.

in my code result is the url's html code.
if u look at the html code of :
http://www.allmusic.co m/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&s ql=2Surfer|Rosa
u will see the code im lookinf for
but i get the code of this :
http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p...2Surfer&c7Rosa
you can see the string im sending as a url and it contains | but
somewhere along the way the WebClient gets it with %c7 and not |
