Underlying connection was closed (with sample code)

[LS]

Hello,
I'm building an rss reader, works fine for all rss feeds, except for this
one (you can try the sample code)
The program stops on myxml.LoadXml(c ontent)

Any ideas why this happens, I'm searching already for 2 days now.

code
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Imports System.Xml
Imports System.Data

Hi,

You dont need the webrequest and webresponse. Here is a simple
example.


Private Const filename As String = "http://www.politics.be/backend2.php"

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVa l sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim reader As XmlTextReader = Nothing

Try
' Load the reader with the data file and ignore all white space
nodes.
reader = New XmlTextReader(f ilename)
reader.Whitespa ceHandling = WhitespaceHandl ing.None
Dim bWrite As Boolean = False
' Parse the file and display each of the nodes.
While reader.Read()
Select Case reader.NodeType
Case XmlNodeType.Ele ment
If reader.Name = "title" Then bWrite = True
'Trace.WriteLin e(String.Format ("<{0}>",
reader.Name))
Case XmlNodeType.Tex t
If bWrite Then Trace.WriteLine (reader.Value)
Case XmlNodeType.CDA TA
' Trace.WriteLine (String.Format( "<![CDATA[{0}]]>",
reader.Value))
Case XmlNodeType.Pro cessingInstruct ion
'Trace.WriteLin e(String.Format ("<?{0} {1}?>",
reader.Name, reader.Value))
Case XmlNodeType.Com ment
'Trace.WriteLin e(String.Format ("<!--{0}-->",
reader.Value))
Case XmlNodeType.Xml Declaration
'Trace.WriteLin e("<?xml version='1.0'?> ")
Case XmlNodeType.Doc ument
Case XmlNodeType.Doc umentType
'Trace.WriteLin e(String.Format ("<!DOCTYPE {0}
[{1}]", reader.Name, reader.Value))
Case XmlNodeType.Ent ityReference
'Trace.WriteLin e(reader.Name)
Case XmlNodeType.End Element
bWrite = False
'Trace.WriteLin e(String.Format ("</{0}>",
reader.Name))
End Select
End While

Finally
If Not (reader Is Nothing) Then
reader.Close()
End If
End Try
End Sub

I know that this is possible, but why is the example not working, it works
for all other rss feeds.
I need the webrequest because I need info from the HEAD of the webserver.
(the code is just an example to show what is not working.

Is anybody able to reproduce this problem?
