HI guys ,

I have some issue when i am calling this url from code behind .

The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found this error i'm getting.

but if i directly put this URL then it is working file is also downloading.

Here is my code

uri = "http://www.google.com/transliterate/indic?tlqt=1&langpair=en|hi&text=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode("India") + "&from=en&to=hi;

HttpWebRequest translationWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);

WebResponse response = null;

response = translationWebRequest.GetResponse();// in this line error is coming

Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream();

Encoding encode = Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8");

StreamReader translatedStream = new StreamReader(stream, encode);

Can any one help me ... how to solve this error!

Hi.
The below code is working for me,
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System.Text;

namespace TestConsole
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string url = "http://www.google.com/transliterate/indic?tlqt=1&langpair=en|hi&text=" + WebUtility.UrlEncode("India") + "&from=en&to=hi;";
            WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url);
            WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
            Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream();
            Encoding encode = Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8");
            StreamReader translatedStream = new StreamReader(stream, encode);
        }
    }
}
Here i used WebUtility.UrlCode because i am checking in .Net 4.5. If you are using less than .Net 4.0 version then you can use HttpUtility.UrlCode. For more about this, you can refer this link,

mention method type such as POST or GET

404 means please cross check with adress
