Webrequest not working.

[archana]

Hi all,
I am having application which is validating URL's and checking whether
that URL is redirecting to some other URL at a time of opening or not.

My code looks like:-

WebRequest myWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(textBox1.Text);
response. myWebResponse = myWebRequest.GetResponse();
MssageBox.Show(myWebResponse.ResponseUri.ToString( ));

But sometimes i am getting error :-
The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.
and
The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.

But if i check that url in IE those URL's are opening properly but not
through above code.

Can someone tell me why this is happening.

Please help me asap.

thanks in advance.

You neither pass any credentials nor do you specify some HTTP headers web
applications might try use, e.g. User-Agent to identify a client's browser
type.

Compare the HTTP requests sent by IE to your requests using Fiddler (www.fiddertool.com).
