WebRequest not showing everything....

21 New Member

I am using this...

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
string url = "http://digi-wiz.com/uploads/upload/Nouns";

string result = null;
 
WebClient client = new WebClient();

result = client.DownloadString( url );

MessageBox.Show(result);

Which is very basic code. It just looks at the files in the http://digi-wiz.com/uploads/upload/Nouns

Now, if you actually go to that website and view source, or just look at it, it shows TWO files there.

The two files are...
180 Body Parts.lll
and then
Schaums Outlilines Vocab - Chapter 2 - Am Flughafen.lll

But if you run that code above it ONLY ever shows the Schaums outlines one. Why is that? It completely skips the line about the 180 Body Parts....Anyone know why and how to fix it?

Why are you using webclient and not HttpWebRequest ?

When I searched google to figure out how to do this the first couple tutorials I read all used webclient. I will go look at HttpWebRequest and see what the difference is.

Ok, I switched to HttpWebRequest and am having the same exact issue. If I pull up http://digi-wiz.com/uploads/upload/Nouns/ then it shows 3 files....but if I run this code..

HttpWebRequest HttpWReq = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://digi-wiz.com/uploads/upload/Nouns/");
HttpWebResponse HttpWResp = (HttpWebResponse)HttpWReq.GetResponse();
StreamReader strm = new StreamReader(HttpWResp.GetResponseStream(), Encoding.ASCII);
string line;
while ((line = strm.ReadLine()) != null)
{
MessageBox.Show(line);
}

Then it only shows 2 files (I uploaded a third which you can see if you put that address in your browser). I don't know why it won't ever show the other one.

Yesterday it was only showing the one....then a couple hours later I tried it again and it showed both. So this morning I uploaded one more, it shows it through IE (all 3 files) but using this code it is still showing 2!!! SO CONFUSING!!!

I think it is something on your end.
I just ran your code and all the objects showed up just fine:
