Underlying connection was closed, unable to connect

[Jim]

I have the following code:
Line 35: Dim sURL As String = "http://www.google.com"
Line 36: Dim data As Stream =
client.OpenRead (Server.UrlPath *Encode(sURL))
Line 37: Dim reader As New StreamReader(da ta)
Line 38: Results = reader.ReadToEn d()
I get an error on Line 36, Exception Details: System.Net.WebE xception:
The underlying connection was closed: Unable to connect to the remote
server.
The stack trace is below:
[WebException: The underlying connection was closed: Unable to connect
to the remote server.]
System.Net.Http WebRequest.Chec *kFinalStatus()
System.Net.Http WebRequest.EndG *etResponse(IAs yncResult asyncResult)

System.Net.Http WebRequest.GetR *esponse()

Any help on resolving this issue would be appreciated

Hi,

Try this instead.
Dim wc As New System.Net.WebC lient

Dim sr As New System.IO.Strea mReader(wc.Open Read("http://news.google.com/"))

Dim strHtml As String

strHtml = sr.ReadToEnd

sr.Close()

wc.Dispose()
