Title: [Solved] How to download file using WebClient in C#?
Post by: 466046020 on March 20, 2017, 01:57:31 PM

Hi, All

For Specific purpose, I write a WinForm program to display the HFS page through WebBrowser. When a user click a file, I intercept it, and get the URL of this file. I want to use WebClient to download it, and display it in my own Form. But there is an ERROR:

Intercept the file click:
private void web_browser_Navigating(object sender, WebBrowserNavigatingEventArgs e)
{
    String url_str = e.Url.ToString();

    if (url_str.Substring(url_str.Length - 3).ToLower() == "pdf")
    {
        label1.Text = e.Url.ToString();
        e.Cancel = true;
        file_url = e.Url;
        //DownloadFile(e.Url.ToString());
    }
}

Then I use WebClient to download it:
private void DownloadFile()
{
    String local_file = System.IO.Path.GetTempPath() + "temp.pdf";


    String temp_url;// = System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode(file_url.ToString());
    temp_url = @"http://eric.xin:%78%69%6E%36%31%35%36%34%36%36@192.168.1.209:9050/02%E6%8A%80%E6%9C%AF%E7%9F%A5%E8%AF%86%E5%BA%93/06%E9%A1%B9%E7%9B%AE%E7%AE%A1%E7%90%86%EF%BC%88%E6%B5%B7%E6%9E%97%EF%BC%89/How%20to%20fix%20LOST%20CARD.pdf";
    WebClient client = new WebClient();
    client.DownloadFile(temp_url, local_file);

}

The URL contains user and password. I get an ERROR:
The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

How to fix it?

Your temporary url uses access rights and has characters interpreted as unicode, hfs is not able to transcribe them into a correct path to deliver the file, complicating situations is not the Best choice to avoid error messages

Problem Solved!

Use Credentials of WebClient, not just pass user and pass through URL:

String temp_url = @"http://host:port/filename.pdf";
String local_path = @"D:\test.pdf";
WebClient client = new WebClient();
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user","pass");
client.DownloadFile(temp_url, local_path);

Tnanks, everyone!
