I'm trying to create a program to auto-reboot my netgear router when
my wireless connection goes down.  I have no control over the
webserver installed on this machine (which is apparently violating the
HTTP protocol standard).   I cannot snoop packets on this HTTP
connection because it forces an SSL-encrypted connection.  I have
already made the config file change useUnsafeHeaderParsing="true",
which does not change the error message.  (I also tried changing other
things in the config file to make sure it was being read).

Basically, I try to connect and I get the message "The underlying
connection was closed: The server commit
ted an HTTP protocol violation."  What is odd is that I can connect
and pull down the main index page fine, but when I try to access the
login page, I get the error.  

If anyone has any other thoughts besides the useUnsafeHeaderParsing
option, it would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my code:

// open new web client
WebClient client = new WebClient();

try
{
    Stream data =
client.OpenRead("https://192.168.x.x/login.tri");
    StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(data);
    string s = reader.ReadToEnd();
    Console.WriteLine(s);
    data.Close();
    reader.Close();
}
catch (WebException  ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine(client.ResponseHeaders);
    Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}

And the error message:
