VB.NET 2005 WebClient file download via HTTPS

[Chad T]

I am very new to VB.Net (most of my experience is with vbscript)
My goal is to create a executable to download files from a HTTPS server.
I have to pass the credentials to the https server.

The code below works fine on our IIS server configured for https but when I
connect to a remote server running "IBM_HTTP_Serve r/2.0.47.1-PK29827
Apache/2.0.47 (Win32) Server" The error I get is Unauthorized...

My Error: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

How can I fix this so it works on any https server... or is there a better
way to do this?

Dim newfilename As String = "Igotit.TXT "
Dim filepath As String = "C:\"
Dim userid As String = "userid"
Dim userpassword As String = "password"

fullfiledownloa d = fileurl & filedownload
filefullpath = filepath & newfilename

Dim wc As New WebClient
Dim myCredentials As New NetworkCredenti al(userid,
userpassword)
wc.Credentials = myCredentials
wc.DownloadFile (fullfiledownlo ad, filefullpath)
End Sub
End Module

Re: VB.NET 2005 WebClient file download via HTTPS

Does it work "by hand" with these credentials ? It would likely allows to
see if the credentials and/or the file permission are not correct or if this
is a problem with the code...
