Dear All,

I am having problem in getting the source from the web site:
http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-mljournal
No matter I use WebClient or HTTPWebRequest/HTTPWebResponse, I get "Too many
automatic redirections attempted" exception. I tried to set a bigger number
to MaximumAutomaticRedirections, but it doesn't work.

Any suggestion is highly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Hi,

It's most likely that they keep redirecting you if you don't provide a
required cookie.

I blocked all cookies from messageboards.ivillage.com and
login.prospero.com and ended up with a "URL Redirection Limit Exceeded"
error in Firefox. When they were enabled, hey presto, it worked.

If you want it to work you'll have to include their cookies somehow.

Regards,
-Adam.
