Title Body

I need to read a location in my Router, but I get the following exception - ServerProtocolViolation "The server committed a protocol violation. Section=ResponseHeader Detail=CR must be followed by LF" This occurs when I use the .DownloadString(url) function. Is there any way to make WebClient ignore protocol violation? Searches in Google tell me I should set the useUnsafeHeaderParsing option somewhere. Can I do it through program? What's the catch if I use it? Edit: Attaching code - public Readlog() { WebClient wc = new WebClient(); string url = @"http://192.168.0.1/setup.cgi?next_file=log.htm&todo=cfg_init"; Console.WriteLine(url); try { //wc.Headers.Add("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0(Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/3.6"); wc.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("admin", "admin"); //Next line causes exception System.Net.WebException //Message - "The server committed a protocol violation. Section=ResponseHeader Detail=CR must be followed by LF" //May be I need to use useUnsafeHeaderParsing somehow to avoid that string result = wc.DownloadString(url); Console.WriteLine(result); } catch (WebException we) { System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine(we.ToString()); } }
