C# HttpWebRequest problem [duplicate]

Question

HttpWebRequest to URL with dot at the end

I am facing a weird problem. When I am trying to get a page using HttpWebRequest page is not coming properly. The url has a dot into it like http://www.xyz.com/abc./do . You can see this url has a dot into it. So when I am trying fetching that data using HttpWebRequest data is not coming properly. So I tracked it with fiddler and I saw this class omitting the dot like http://www.xyz.com/abc/do . How can I solve this problem ?

NB. This is not a real url. But the problem is real.

as I can see you are missing forward slash it should be http:// — Senad Meškin

Interesting - I can't find any other problems like this - nor cna I find a way (so far) to prevent the address being parsed and the "." being removed. You can't escape the character obviously, and even if you try Uri x = new Uri("automatica-munich.com/exvi/en/bfa_solutions_ltd./CH/A1/…); you'll see the same behaviour. I still think the URL provided is badly formatted, but no idea how to handle it... — Smudge202

. is a valid url character, and therefore won't be encoded by the method call above.
