I am trying to download a file using HttpWebRequest and
HttpWebResponse, but everytime I download a file its just the HTML.
The URL I am providing contains query string parameters as well as a
user name and password. Anyone have any suggestions.
 
have you tried entering the URL to the file in your browser and be sure it
will actually download a file?

Some "pages" look at the User-Agent string, and will disallow, so try
supplying a user-agent request header. Also, if a username and password is
required, there may be a required cookie set as well; this would need to be
transmitted along with the file request.
