    HttpWebRequest incorrect 404

    Hi.
    I've encountered a strange problem.
    I wrote the following routine:

    HttpWebRequest wr = (HttpWebRequest )WebRequest.Cre ate(url);
    wr.Method = "GET";
    wr.Timeout = 5000; // 5 seconds should be plenty
    wr.UserAgent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR
    1.0.3705)";
    wr.AllowAutoRed irect = true;
    wr.CookieContai ner = new CookieContainer ();
    WebResponse wResp = wr.GetResponse( );

    Most of the time this is fine. But occationally I come across an address
    like

    which generates a 404 exception.
    However, if you open it up in IE everything is fine.

    Anybody got any ideas as to what it is that I'm doing wrong?
