Visual Studio .NET - Too many automatic redirections -HTTPWebRequest

I'm experimenting with some c# webservice code that is designed to return the most recent say, 3 days of "HOWTOS"
from the MS Search service.

Here is a sample working GET URL. You can paste this into IE and it will return a result page. (sorry about any wrapping):

-- My problem is that in a webservice call:

HttpWebRequest webreq = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(serverURL);
      HttpWebResponse webresp = (HttpWebResponse)webreq.GetResponse();
      StreamReader strm = new StreamReader(webresp.GetResponseStream(),
Encoding.ASCII);
      StringBuilder strContent = new StringBuilder("");
      sTemp="<MSInfoResponse>";
      sContentTemp = strm.ReadToEnd();
      strContent.Append(sContentTemp);
      string contents=strContent.ToString();
      strm.Close();
      sTemp+=contents+"</MSInfoResponse>";
      result=sTemp;


-- this returns the following exception:

System.Net.WebException: Too many automatic redirections attempted.
   at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.CheckFinalStatus()
   at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.EndGetResponse(IAsyncResult asyncResult)
   at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
   at MSInfoService.GetInfo(String sType, String sDays)


Anybody got any ideas?

The Uri you access wants you to set
HttpWebRequest webreq = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(serverURL);
webreq.UserAgent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0b; Windows NT 5.0)"


HttpWebrequest has a property MaximumAutomaticRedirections that is set to 30 or so by default.
