Proxy Authentication Required

Question

I am trying to get the XML from a URL but I'm getting the following error.

Proxy Authentication Required.

Here is the code I am using:

string sUrl = "http://google.com";

StringBuilder oBuilder = new StringBuilder();

StringWriter oStringWriter = new StringWriter(oBuilder);

XmlTextReader oXmlReader = new XmlTextReader(sUrl);

XmlTextWriter oXmlWriter = new XmlTextWriter(oStringWriter);

while (oXmlReader.Read())

{

oXmlWriter.WriteNode(oXmlReader, true);

}

addListItem( oBuilder.ToString() );

oXmlReader.Close();

oXmlWriter.Close();

I might be wrong, but I think its because you can't read XML from a URL. Maybe your mistaking XML for XHTML, which is eXtensibile HyperText Markup Language and its what 90% of web pages are built on these days unless you get into PHP or JavaScript and what not.
XML I believe is used primarily for web data storage on a user's PC and for small and simple database-like needs, it can be read by a web page, but is not an actual part of the build source code. Then again, I could be wrong but in all my web designing in college we never once used XML for the actual code construction of web pages.
