Download web page from URL (with redirect) to a text file with vb.net

[moris7]

Hi everyone,

i tried a lot but i don't seem to be able to do anything conclusive !

Here what i want to do :

LogIn in a webpage using this URL :

http://movies.hsx.com/servlet/Login?...&password=1242

and download the source page in a txt file that i could save on my
computer.

I have tried with HttpWebRequest, WebRequest,
AllowAutoRedirect=true...etc....

nothing works...all that it downloads is a source page where it says
Please LogIn...but where i use this URL in a browser...it shows me the
correct page and i can save manually the source code of the page.

Can someone attemp to crack this problem ?

I don't need anything fancy...only something that i can put a URL and
a save file path...thats it.

Thank you very much...!

I've put so many hours on this....

Martin

Hello moris7,

>all that it downloads is a source page where it says
Please LogIn...

Well, when I use that URL in my browser, a login page is exactly what I
get. I tried only with Firefox - maybe they have an "intelligent" thing
there that reacts to the user agent when the request comes in? That might
explain why your code isn't working either. Or maybe something has just
changed about the page since you posted...

Hello moris7,

Another thought - when you use your browser, maybe you're logged in to the
site because of a cookie you have. Would be another explanation for the
difference in behaviour you're seeing.
