Re: 500 error while GetResponse()

Hi Kevin,

I'll try to explain it again:

I have developed an ASP.Net application - www.ABC.com

Now i want to develop a utility which checks whether my site is up or not.
If it is not then i need to send an SMS alert to few people to check the
status of the site.

This utility is a console app which makes a HTTPRequest to - www.ABC.com
So, the point at which i say - GetResponse() - i.e. when i'm trying to get
the response of the request i made to my site, its giving me a
System.WebException - "The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal
Server Error."

Hope i'm able to explain the problem in a better way this time.

Thanks,
Pooja.
