The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error

[Barnali85]

Hi all,

I am getting "The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error" exception. I have written the following code in VS.NET2005 using C# :

WebRequest wr = WebRequest.Create("http://www.ebizautos.com/search-cars/acura-cl-2.2-1997.html");
WebResponse wrs = wr.GetResponse();
Stream strm = wrs.GetResponseStream();

StreamReader SR = new StreamReader(strm);
string str = SR.ReadLine();
string input = "";
while (str != null)
{
input = input + str;
str = SR.ReadLine();
}
It is giving the exception on WebResponse wrs = wr.GetResponse(); statement.
This url is working fine otherwise on the browsers.


Can anybody please help me out to resolve this problem....

Thanks in advance!
Barnali

What is the exception?

A 500 error occurs when the SERVER is having trouble.
It either really does have a problem, or you're sending some kind of malformed/incomplete request that it is not capable of finishing it's task and is bombing out.

Check with the company's website that you're trying to talk to to find out if they're working?

Hi,
First of all, thanks for a quick reply....!!!

Exception is "The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error"

This error comes specifically while navigating to "http://www.ebizautos.com/search-cars/acura-cl-2.2-1997.html" programatically using WebRequest and WebResponse. All other urls are working fine except this one. I am unable to find out the reason behind this.

Thnks,
Barnali

Url is "http://www.ebizautos.com/search-cars/acura-cl-2.2-1997.html".

Actually I am navigating to the webpages through WebRequest and WebResponse classes. All other urls are navingating properly except this one.

This url is working fine otherwise. Even I have tried to navigate to this url using the "WebBrowser" cotrol in Windows Application in .NET. The "webrowser" control navigates to this url successfully. But when I am try to do this using WebRequest and WebResponse, It is raising that exception.


Thanks,
