I am trying to access a website through C# using the WebRequest and the WebResponse object,
I logged on to the site and preserved the cookie to further browse it, The problem is that the website is arabic and somehow I got a formatted message from the website indicating that my browser does not support arabic.
Perhaps I can add something to the request object to ensure the website that arabic is supported.
Thanks in advance.
This is the code I used, please let me know how to update it:
string formUrl = "http://www.kuwaitlook.com/Ar/Residential.asp";
string formParams = string.Format("Mega={0}", searchTarget);
HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(formUrl);
req.UserAgent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1);Accept-Language:ar";
req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
req.Method = "POST";
req.Headers.Add("Cookie", cookieHeader);
byte[] bytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(formParams);
req.ContentLength = bytes.Length;
using (Stream os = req.GetRequestStream()) {
os.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
}
WebResponse resp = req.GetResponse();
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(resp.GetResponseStream());
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter("text.xml")) {
string line;
while ((line = streamReader.ReadLine()) != null) {
writer.WriteLine(line);
}
}
