I have this 1-line request and it is failing:

var reader = XmlReader.Create(address);

However, I can open it in the browser no problem.

At home everything's working fine, at work, I get this problem.

Any idea what's wrong?

Thanks.

Does your work use a web proxy? – admdrew Feb 18 '14 at 19:45
^^ as above re:proxy, my best guess would be your proxy requires authentication. You could probably spoof an Identity using a basic http client implementation. – Moby's Stunt Double Feb 18 '14 at 20:09
Yep, there is a proxy – monstro Feb 19 '14 at 03:39
Adding to solves the problem :)) – monstro Feb 24 '14 at 17:20
