Download file over HTTPS using .NET (dotnet)

Question

I would like to download a file using VB.NET (preferably) or C# via HTTPS.

I have this code to download a file over plain HTTP:

Dim client As WebClie         


        

Answer 1

Try something like this

        WebClient wc = new WebClient();
        wc.UseDefaultCredentials = false;

        CredentialCache creds = new CredentialCache();
        creds.Add(new Uri(url), "Basic",new NetworkCredential(username, password, domain));

        wc.Credentials = creds;
        wc.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.UserAgent,"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.2; .NET CLR 1.0.3705;");
        //wc.Headers["Accept"] = "/";

        wc.DownloadFile(url,localpath);
