Actually sometimes the browser does make a difference...

Was getting a 500 error when using WebClient but HTTPWebRequest didn't have any issues.

    Technically its still a server issue, as it is probably the server choking on how the 2 different options send their requests

    @liammartens well in my case, it works in regular browsers and scraping a site isn't exactly something they expect users to do...

    100% it is the crappy code running on the server. The logs will tell you

    It could even be the way the agent identifies itself in the request, some servers have different handling for specific agents.. That said, the fix is generally done server-side anyway. :/

    Just check the logs. Back end dev should know this... But i still enjoy the regular coding wars between backend and front end
