Message # 1 | 3:31 PM
I try to get file programmatically from server using c# winforms. First I checking if file is there but when I make httpwebrequest using HEAD method it's return me "The remote server returned an error 403 (Forbidden)"... The downloaded file is 0kb. Any help?

Here is the code if you need it.
Code

private bool RemoteFileExists(string url)
{
      try
      {
            HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url) as HttpWebRequest;
            request.Method = "HEAD";
            HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse;
            return (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK);
      }
      catch (Exception ex)
      {
            MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
            return false;
      }
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
         {
             if (RemoteFileExists("http://xoemab.ucoz.ru/ConvertToUTF-8/setup.rar") == true)
             {
                 WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
                 webClient.DownloadFileCompleted += new AsyncCompletedEventHandler(Completed);
                 webClient.DownloadProgressChanged += new DownloadProgressChangedEventHandler(ProgressChanged);
                 webClient.DownloadFileAsync(new Uri("http://xoemab.ucoz.ru/ConvertToUTF-8/setup.rar"), @"C:\Users\Almis\Desktop\setup.rar");
             }
             else
             {
                 MessageBox.Show("You have already the latest version.");
             }
         }

I'm not experienced with the language that you're using but I just had a thought, maybe you can try spoofing the User-Agent string of the request to make it seem like you are accessing that URL from a browser.
