OT: Making a call to a secure website

[MarkusJ_NZ]

Hi, I am trying to get a datafeed from a website and under the
documentation it says to make a call to the website in the following
format

https://[email protected]:[email protected]/webservice/getFeed

However when I enter in the relevant data and go to the website I
recieve a "Windows cannot find 'https://
(e-mail address removed):[email protected]/webservice/
getFeed'. Check the spelling and try again"

Does anyone have any idea how am I suppossed to make a call to this
site?? The documentation is non-existant.

Thanks in advance
Markus

I assume you are using the System.Net.WebClient class to fetch the data. If
that is true then you need to create Network Credentials for the web client
object. Look at

to get started.

Before you do that, try to change the first '@' in the url to its escaped
value:
