WebClient error - The remote name could not be resolved: 'snooker'
Hi all!
I'm trying to download an xml file from a location using the WebClient class.
When I try a normal web address like "http://www.bbc.co.uk" there is no problem. However, when i try this kind of address "http://snooker/somedomain.com/"
I get the error The remote name could not be resolved: 'snooker'.
Here is my code:
WebClient wcWebClient = new WebClient();
wcWebClient.Headers.Add("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1;en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4");
wcWebClient.Headers.Add("Accept-Language", "en-us,en;q=0.5");
byte[] reqHTML = null;
//next line is where i get the error
reqHTML = wcWebClient.DownloadData("http://snooker/somedomain.com/");
Any help and/or advice to resolve this will be gratefully received.
Many thanks in advance.
Tony
