THANK YOU! It seems obvious now but of course the reason it was working in the browser is because the proxy server was setup in the connection settings. To get it working in my code I just had to add our proxy server address to the config file and then add the following after the WebClient construction:
client.Proxy = new WebProxy(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ProxyServer"]); client.Proxy.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials; It now works a treat. Many thanks.
