Why is it redirecting? It's likely an authentication issue.

Set the AllowAutoRedirect property[^] to false:

C#

HttpWebRequest request1 = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.xxxxxxxx.aspx");
request1.AllowAutoRedirect = false;

I have already tried but not able get appropriate result.
request1.Method = "GET";
request1.AllowAutoRedirect = false;

But done with a php solution. May be they are using session or cookies to store values?!

I am trying this from http://secure.newegg.com/
After add to cart , when i check the view cart, I need the "IN STOCK" value.

If it's a shopping cart, then the problem is unlikely to be a redirection. It's more likely that they're using cookies to identify the basket; when you request the page without the cookies, you'll get a new empty basket.

Use Fiddler[^] to see what the request and response look like from your code, and from a web browser.

Assuming the problem is due to the cookies, you'll need to set a CookieContainer on your HttpWebRequest. Make sure you use the same container instance for both the request to add an item to the basket, and the request to read the contents of the basket.
