Could you explain better what's your problem and what you want to achieve?
In this case, your code (even you getting an error) was the solution for my code.

Did you find a solution to this? I am having the same issue and the "solution" you were given by Shameel is useless. When I browse to the url with Firefox it opens right up so the server is obviously available but with the webclient it does not. I suspect it is a firewall issue.

The error is self-explanatory. It's a server error and you can do nothing much about it from the client code. Check if your url is correct. Paste the url in a browser window and see if you get the same error.
