Hello,

I am currently working on an application which is supposed to retrieve some information from a website. I form a query, where I place the street address to get information on. The final part of the URL looks as follows:

../ListResults.aspx?State=TX&County=DALLAS&key=NTREIS&txtStreetNumberF
+rom=1433&txtStreetNumberTo=1433&txtStreetName=LAMP+POST

[download]

When I check it in a browser (either Netscape or IE), it works fine. I receive a web page with the data I need. In my application though, the page contains no line I need. If I look for information on an address with a single word street name, e.g.

../ListResults.aspx?State=TX&County=DALLAS&key=NTREIS&txtStreetNumberF
+rom=4533&txtStreetNumberTo=4533&txtStreetName=BELFORT

[download]
my application returns correct results. What could be wrong?

I don't provide the entire URL string, because the website requires the user agent to be a browser and has a cookie-based authentication mechanism.

You expert advice would be greatly appreciated.
