using HttpWebRequest to make HTTP request t web server and get resulting
HTML in the response, when the response includes hebrew characters (not
unicode) these characters are moved away after

StreamReader reader = new StreamReader ( response.GetResponseStream() );
strHTML = reader.ReadToEnd();

is there anyway to save all the data came with the response using this
object?

TIA.

Try the following:
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream(),
response.ContentEncoding);
Hope it helps,

thanx, it worked,
even though it worked with
System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding( "windows-1255")
because response.ContentEncoding returns empty string.
(i checked the HTTP response headers, and it does not include encoding
information, the browser looks in the HTML META tag for that, and that what
i gave the StreamReader class.)

If you look at my blog (given below), there is some code there which shows
you how to get the correct encodings. This will make sure that you dont lose
data.
