Server Error 500 In Using WebClient.DownloadString In Asp.net?
Mar 4, 2012
I am using WebClient.DownloadString method in vb.netto convert asp.net page to string after that I send this string by email. by I got this error from the server
The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.
Unfortunately, no more details about the error. what is the possible problem ?
error in the following line of code :
Dim str As String = client.DownloadString(Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority) + "/GFOPortalA/isd/ViewForm.aspx?ISD_FRM_NO=" + Session("ISD_ReqId"))
working in an intranet sit .downloadString took less than one second,but some times the server is down (maitenance or so on) and the the result took maybe one minute or so.Is there any way to set an lower interval?for example, if the server doesn't respond in 9 seconds return empty string, or so on.
I've read some about async comm but not sure what is the best solution.

I've been testing using WebClient.DownloadString and sometimes I encounter an error: "The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden". It is based upon which url I use. For instance, this works:
Dim wc As New Net.WebClientDim strResult As String = String.Empty Try strResult = wc.DownloadString("http:/ Obama pages always fails.
How can I integrate a ProgressBar in this code? It takes normally some seconds (9-10), but my program looks like a "crash", for this reason i want use a ProgressBar
I'm working on a project that scrapes data from government websites. I've noticed that whenever I use WebClient it doesn't always get the whole HTML code. Even when I get the robots.txt file it doesn't return everything. For example, http://www.bbc.co.uk/robots.txt has 80 lines but I'm only getting 13 lines.
If an HTML block uses "display: none" in the style I can't get anything between the hidden HTML blocks.Here is the sample code I'm using:[code]...
Well i want to add a listview item to the paramater of a Webclient DownloadString here is what i want
vb Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim wClient As New WebClient AddHandler wClient.DownloadProgressChanged, AddressOf DownloadProgressChanged(ListView1.Items(textbox1.text)'HAVE THIS IN HERE' AddHandler wClient.DownloadStringCompleted, AddressOf DownloadStringCompleted(ListView1.Items(textbox1.text)'Have THIS IN
Dim WebReqeust As WebClient = New WebClient Dim URL as string = "http://www.professionalorganizervannuys.com" Dim WebPage As String = WebReqeust.DownloadString(URL)
But when I use WebClient.DownloadString to read the source code to a textbox, I only get this:
<div id="webResults"> </div>
There's nothing. All of the webresults have been removed.How come I can view the code in my internet browser but not on my application?? I even used an InStr method to confirm that the results weren't contained in the generated code.
My program takes user input, replaces all spaces with "+", then inserts it into a search url for a specified web host. For example, the user enters:"How long is a foot?"
The generated URL (in this case I'm using dogpile.com) is:
I am using the code below to upload a file to a server running windows IIS 5.1.
I am just testing on my own computer to see if this works ok. However, I keep getting the following error message:
The remote server returned an error (405) Method Not Allowed I am sure this is a IIS problem maybe something to so with permissions. However, I am configure the virtual directory to allow read, write, and directory browsing.
The config.xml file I am trying to upload is located in the same directory as the executable and does exist.
Private Sub upload_config_to_server() Dim url As New Uri("http://localhost/softphone/config.xml") Dim wc As New WebClient()
I'm trying to filter submitted web sites by attempting to browse them while bouncing the request off of OpenDNS. If the page received is the OpenDNS page, I'll assume the page shoudld be blocked.
How might I accomplish this task using the System.Net.WebClient class?
I can download the files I want. However, the client has insisted on creating different folders which will contain the version number. So the name of the folders would be something like this: 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3, etc.So the files will be contained in the latest version in this case folder 1.0.3. However, how can my web client detect which is the latest one?
works fine for my purposes for checking for a new file version, but it still locks up the UI when it is connecting to the server. Once it connects, the UI unlocks but I'd like to eliminate the brief 3 second lag it causes.
I'm automating downloads. I was getting this error quite a bit using Webbrowser to navigate to a PDF (various PDFs at various websites). In other words the PDF was already on display in the browser when I called WebClient.DownloadToFile. I got a LOT better results when I desisted from WebClient and switched to this API (just pass in the two strings along with zeroes for the other parameters).
[Code]...
And yet Webclient seems oriented for only two entries (username and password). How do you set up the credentials for three entries? I hate to abandon WebClient, but at this point I just don't know how to make it work.
I'm trying to download a simple text file from a web server. It's easily accessible from the web browser and I can download it from the web browser. However, whenever I use a WebClient to download the file, I get a 403 Access Forbidden Error! I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do. I haven't come across this kind of error in programming before and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do to get around it.
I do the same thing with URLdownloadtoFile: IT WORKS.Wih the WEBCLIENT part I just DO NOT GET the Text file from the PHP/MYSQL server: I only get message "Invalid Username/Password or no list download permission: ||"
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim urlStr1, urlStr2 As String
Dim fileToStoreStr, fileToStoreStr1, fileToStoreStr2 As String
I've managed to narrow down my issue to a simple annoyance. I had a Webbrowser control mostly coded to navigate around an Oracle CRM On Demand site to generate metric reports, but then realized when I tried to build in the auto-download part, that the Webbrowser object wasn't going to give me the behind-the-scenes control I wanted. Searching online, it seems the Webclient control might be a better route. However I'm stuck trying to get by the login page so I can use the Download-File method to get my generated xls report. [Code] But every reply from the server has "Sign In Error: Both a user sign in ID and a password must be given." which tells me the form/post data isn't getting where it needs to go (It thinks the form is blank at [Code].
The above username and password are bogus of course, but once I can get a different reply then 'the fields are blank' I can worry about correct logon information. I'm just not sure what I'm not doing correctly or if I need to include something else. Since it's a publicly accessible site and I'm stuck getting something in the form to be 'seen', it should be easy for others to try and test.
I am getting an error with this Dim Web As New WebClient Web.Proxy = "69.196.16.237:62159" It says runtime errors may occur when converting string to System.Net.IWebProxy What does that mean?
its been a while since i've posted on the board..Well i got a problem and i stuck and i thought its time to use your knowledge.I want to make a program that its base code will do an automatic login to some of my sites i use and download the page raw source code to work with the results.
I'm using Visual Studio Development Server (Visual Basic 2010) and it works fine. Now I've enabled NTLM Authorization because I want to test the website using a different user account. Now when I try to access the website I always get the following error page:
Server Error in '/' Application.
HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden.
Version Information: ASP.NET Development Server 10.0.0.0 .I'm using a test account which is a normal user within our domain. I've already set the access rights in my project folder to Full Access for this user but it does not help.
When I deployed my project on a server, in certain circumstances, I get an error page that indicates I should create a custom error page. I was wondering how exactly I would implement this custom error page the server asks for to give me a precise and helpful message or preferably, how I would get the error to just display on the main page?This is the error message I got below
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.
How limited time for method InstWebClient.DownloadString(PageAddress)?Sometimes my apps "stop executing" in line where execute InstWebClient.DownloadString method.
