What do you mean with "this code will break"?

At i=2 I got exception. Just try it.

buffer1 = webClient.DownloadString("http://google.com") 'this code is not problematic just for testing

'buffer1 = webClient.DownloadString("http://api.bodis.com/domainclassification?domain=helloworld.com")

For i = 1 To 10 'just to show the bug not trying to abuse or anything
buffer1 = webClient.DownloadString("http://api.bodis.com/domainclassification?domain=helloworld.com") 'This code will break when i =2
Next

The problem is with the server you're communicating with. I tried your code and and got a WebException telling me that the server committed a protocol violation. I tried again with Google in the loop and it worked fine. I don't know why that error occurs but it's the server, not the code, that has the issue.

JM again to the rescue I can keep accessing the site if I use webbrowser. So why I can do that with webbrowser but not webclient is beyond me.

What happens if you use a different WebClient object each time?
