503 error with page content

Question

I have a pretty annoying problem with my new program...

I want programmatically search queries on google.

its working great but after a while google returns me their captcha page, but it isn't a regular response, it is a statuscode of 503 service unabailable and it goes directly to the catch {} with this exception and I cant get the html content that I get when I do the same thing in the browser...

I researched it on the internet and found nothing about a 503 response with html content...

I just wondered how can I get the page html source from the 503 response

thank you very much...

I got nothing about 503 with page content – John Smith Mar 13 '12 at 11:17 — John Smith, Mar 13 '12 at 11:17

I'm assuming you're getting a WebException. If so, you can access the HTTP response with something like...

try {
    // Make the request...
} catch(WebException wexc) {
    var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)wexc.Response;
    if(httpResponse.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.ServiceUnavailable) {
        // You can read the response as usual here.
    } else {
        throw; // not something we care about, re-throw exception
    }
}
