WebRequest: 404 Error, but page exists actually

Hello,

I'm trying to download a web page with WebRequest:

Dim req As WebRequest
req = WebRequest.Create("http://www.discogs.com/artist/Pascal
+F.E.O.S.")
Dim sr As New StreamReader(req.GetResponse().GetResponseStream() )

This throws up a 404 error.

But you're able to open the page in a browser.

Why?! Could it be it that it has something to do with the dots in the
name? Any other artist page I've tried worked.

Thanks for help.
