[RESOLVED] HttpRequest generating weird strings ' and "...

[Alphadan]

This is my code these strings dont show up when I use Webrowser control btw. I think it has to be with the encoding so I explicitly assigned UTF8 to the streamreader with no success any idea about how to fix this pls?

    Sub HttpRequest(url As String)
        Try
            Dim myRequest As System.Net.HttpWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(url)
            myRequest.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials

            '// Get the response

            Dim webResponse As WebResponse = myRequest.GetResponse
            Dim respStream As Stream = webResponse.GetResponseStream

            '//

            Dim ioStream As StreamReader = New StreamReader(respStream, Encoding.UTF8)
            Dim pageContent As String = ioStream.ReadToEnd

            MsgBox(pageContent)

        Catch ex As Exception
            Label1.Text = ex.Message
        End Try
    End Sub

End Class

Thx in advance!!
