Software installation[^]
Now, tell me you never did that! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I could tell you that, but then I'd be lying.

Nah, I never do such thing. I always trust the installers and their estimated completion time.
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

Yep, all the time.
I also speak kind, loving words to get my computer to do something, as if it can hear me. I then curse its existence, when it can't.

I figure out that to get the content from https://api.github.com/events programmatically (it works from the browser), I have specify something, anything for the UserAgent:
HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("https://api.github.com/events") as HttpWebRequest;
request.Method = "GET";
request.UserAgent = "Hello There";
Sigh. That was 3 hours spent on what I thought should be ridiculously simple and was hoping to spend on productively writing code to process and display the digest of events.
I'd still be at it, if not for this obscure[^] post by Buddha (at the bottom.)

I went through something similar and learned that painful lesson also when I built my DragonSharq web browser (retrieves the web site as text) which I wrote a CP article for at:
DragonSharq Web Browser: Safe Browsing / Source Viewing[^]
I ended up adding a droplist which let me set the user agent to mimic numerous browsers because sites will respond with different content depending upon the user agent.
DragonSharq also displays the returned headers which is kind of interesting.

That's why I always read all the answers and not just the accepted one.
I have upvoted his answer on behalf of you.
