How to catch page redirect

I have some code for loading HTML od web page:

String Something = "";

System.Net.WebClient WC = new System.Net.WebClient();

Something = WC.DownloadString(txtSomeAdress.Text);

txtResult.Text = Something

So, what is problem. If some page is redirecting to another page, than I got
HTML of this new page and it is ok. But I need url of this new page. How to
get it with C# or VB?

Thanks

I don't think this is possible.

The alternative is to use WebRequest instead of WebClient.

            WebRequest webRequest =
WebRequest.Create("http://localhost:2121/");

            var response = webRequest.GetResponse();

            var reader = new
System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
            var Something = reader.ReadToEnd();
            var endUrl = response.ResponseUri.ToString();

I hope this helps.

Use HTTPWebRequest/HTTPWEBRESPONSE

You also need to use the status field from the response to identify the
redirect, and then iterate the header and identify the target uri. I think
thats it any way been a while since I built a proxy.

Hi,

That is probably expressly done to prevent persons from stealing
