I want to load a xml document from a web to my program
so i wrote these lines:

VB
Dim xDoc As XmlDocument = New XmlDocument()            xDoc.Load("http://www.ims.gov.il/ims/PublicXML/isr_cities.xml")


sometimes it works well,but sometimes it fail
when it fail sometimes it throw this exception :
"Too many automatic redirections were attempted."
and sometimes it look like everything okay but it is fail to load the xml document to my object of "XmlDocument"
i discovered it because in the property "innerxml"
instead of containing xml of my document it containing html like:

<pre lang="HTML"><html><body><script>document.cookie='bbbbbbb=53cf4d9cbbbbbbb_53cf4d9c; path=/';window.location.href=window.location.href;</script></body></html>



what can I do in order to fix it ???

please help me -it very urgent!!!!

What I have tried:

VB
xDoc = New XmlDocument()
                xDoc.Load("http://www.ims.gov.il/ims/PublicXML/isr_cities.xml")
                rssNodes = xDoc.SelectNodes("/IsraelCitiesWeatherForecastMorning/Location")


but it fail

Both symptoms are hint to a connection (slow response) problem...
As Richard told you, there is nothing wrong with the code, so you have to solve the occasional failures in an other way...
Wrap your load in a try catch block and repeat it until the XML loaded perfectly (probably a schema check)...
Also a good idea to cache the XML on your own server, and only load it once or twice a day (in any case meteorological data does not change too fast)...

The problem is not one of coding, it is an issue with the website. Talk to the web master about it. And sorry, but it is not at all urgent to anyone here.

Solution to what? If the URL does not present an XML document then there is nothing you can do.
