browser report

[leontager]

I am trying to create a stream of a source of a website. I do not get the same source as I would if I visited the same link simply by using IE. instead I get a message that my browser is not allowed. How do I report which browser I am using?

i'm not sure what method you are trying to use, so i'll post this quick example i knocked up to see if it helps...

       Dim wc As New Net.WebClient()
       Try
           With wc
               Dim sReader As New IO.StreamReader(.OpenRead("http://www.xtremedotnettalk.com/t75697.html"))
               RichTextBox1.AppendText(sReader.ReadToEnd)
               sReader.BaseStream.Flush()
               sReader.Close()
               sReader = Nothing
           End With
       Catch ex As Exception
           MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
       End Try

What site are you trying to access, leontager?

Dim stream As IO.StreamReader

Dim wc As New Net.WebClient()

stream = New IO.StreamReader(wc.OpenRead("URL"))

RichTextBox1.Text = stream.ReadToEnd

 

This is what I am doing. I am just wondering how to tell the server on their side that you are using either explorer or netscape or opera.

 

 

edit: example of this would be something like http://ricelawn.freemethodistchurch.org/browserchek.html

 

how can I make it display internet explorer instead of 5.0 (Windows; en-US) :)
