Hello Surbakti

That's not a URI which the HttpWebRequest can easily handle. It contains login information for the BasicAuth scheme. Before "executing" this url, delete this part: "Surbakti:surbaktiTest@" and use the user name "Surbakti" and the password "surbakti" to create new network credentials.
