Carlos,
try like Dave suggested
HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create
("http://....");
webRequest.AllowAutoRedirect = false;
try
{
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)webRequest.GetResponse();
Response.Write(response.StatusCode.ToString()); // Returns "OK",
"Moved", "MovedPermanently", etc
}
catch (WebException ex)
{
Response.Write(ex.Message); // File does not exist
}
Hope this helps
