Question

How to download the Google translate mp3 from site "http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=en&q=hello+world"?

I'm using the following code:

    WebClient wc = new WebClient();  
    wc.Encoding = Encoding.UTF8;  
    wc.AllowReadStreamBuffering = true;  
    wc.OpenReadCompleted += WcOpenReadCompleted;  
    wc.OpenReadAsync(new Uri("http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=en&q=hello+world", UriKind.Absolute));  

   void WcOpenReadCompleted(object sender, OpenReadCompletedEventArgs e)  
   {  

   }

In read completed, I'm getting System.Net.WebException.

How can I read the mp3 file from that page?
or is there any way to play that mp3 file?

And what does the exception say? The error messages in WebException are usually pretty good... — Jon Skeet, Dec 17 '10 at 07:14

This took a bit of digging but you do not get a response because the WebClient sends referrer info with the request.

At the moment it does not seem possible to remove this referrer from the headers.
