This was suppose to be a simple task,what i wanna do is download a file lets say https://www.onlinesubmit.in/people-computers.jpg but the original file has limited to view in a particular region so i have to use a proxy service and i am using https://www.proxy-service.de/
so the complete link becomes https://www.proxy-service.de/proxy-s...&b=0&f=norefer
now i have to download it by my app not via web-browser,
when i try
this works fine but if i change the Uri to https://www.proxy-service.de/proxy-s...&b=0&f=norefer this don't work as may be proxy site doesn't support hotlinking.
so i google a bit and found some code which says i have to use
for HTTP and
for HTTPS
so i try to write some code
and it's not working,it simply creates a blank jpg file and the exception as per error.txt is
System.Net.WebException: The remote name could not be resolved: 'proxy-service.https.de'

at dummy_proj.Form1.Button1_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\dummy_proj\dummy_proj\Form1.vb:line 13
