HttpWebRequest cookie for redirected request

In my program I should authorize on the site, get authorization cookie value and send request to page (page1, which url like "mysite.com/lots/8188/request/4261/"), which redirect me to another (page2, which url like "mysite.com/lots/view/8188/"):
sendingRequest.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
sendingRequest.CookieContainer.Add(sendingRequest.RequestUri, new Cookie(ASPNETSessionIdCookieName, this.ASPNETSessionIdCookie));
sendingRequest.AllowAutoRedirect = true;
sendingRequest.MaximumAutomaticRedirections = 100;
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)sendingRequest.GetResponse();
Ok, page1 return me expected HTTP 302 Page with expected url of page2, then sendingRequest go to page2, but it don't send ASPNETSessionIdCookieName cookie to page2 and server return me uncorrect response.
How can I use "ASPNETSessionIdCookieName" for redirected request?

The auto-redireciton will follow the cookies domain/URI to check if the cookies should be sent again, once the URL is changing I believe the problem is the first parameter of the CookieContainer.Add.
You're restricting the cookie to the first page URL.
Try change for something like this:
sendingRequest.CookieContainer.Add(new Cookie(ASPNETSessionIdCookieName, this.ASPNETSessionIdCookie));
If you want to restrict the cookie only to that domain you can them use Cookie four parameters constructor.

CookieContainer returns empty

Hello Everyone i have the follow code
Uri site = new Uri("http://www.receita.fazenda.gov.br/pessoajuridica/cnpj/cnpjreva/Cnpjreva_Solicitacao2.asp");
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(site);
CookieContainer cookies = new CookieContainer();
request.CookieContainer = cookies;
//Console.WriteLine(cookies.GetCookieHeader(site));
//Get the response and print out the cookies again
using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
{
Console.WriteLine(cookies.GetCookieHeader(site));
}
Console.Write("end");
Console.ReadKey();
Well this code returns the Cookie OK but if i change the URI to http://www8.receita.fazenda.gov.br/SimplesNacional/Aplicacoes/ATBHE/ConsultaOptantes.app/ConsultarOpcao.aspx it's not show correctly it's return empty
Anyone can help me to solve this problem ?

The server at the new URL does not attempt to set any cookies, so of course no cookies are in the container. Modify your ASP code to set a cookie and it will work.

Add the following to your cookie: , domain=.receita.fazenda.gov.br. This says that your cookie can be used with any sub-domain of receita.fazenda.gov.br. Have a look at the RFC on cookies or use this Wikipedia article.
UPDATE: Re-reading your OP, there may be a few things that could be going awry.
One thing is that the site is not setting a cookie when making a request for www8.receita.fazenda.gov.br (as mentioned by others). Or, the site did not set the domain field of the cookie sent with the response for the request to www.receita.fazenda.gov.br. I think it's likely the former—the cookie is not being set by the web server when the request is being made.
Another thing is perhaps you forgot to request the cookie header for the correct site?? Above, you have a line of code that reads Console.WriteLine(cookies.GetCookieHeader(site));, where site is hardcoded to a System.Uri that is different from www8.receita.fazenda.gov.br. If that's the case, then you are requesting cookies for a different site than the one for which the request was made.

C# Downloading HTML from a website after logging in

I've recently been looking on how to get data from a website using C#. I tried using the WebBrowser object to navigate and log in, and that worked fine, but I keep getting the same problem over and over again: when I navigate to the wanted page I get disconnected.
I've tried several things like making sure that only one HtmlDocument exists but I still get logged out.
TLDR: how do you stay logged in, from page to page, while navigating a website with WebBrowser? Or are there better alternatives?
EDIT: So far I have the following code;
currentWebBrowser = new WebBrowser();
currentWebBrowser.DocumentText = #"<head></head><body></body>";
currentWebBrowser.Url = new Uri("about:blank");
currentWebBrowser.Navigate("http://google.com");
HttpWebRequest Req = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create("http://google.com");
Req.Proxy = null;
Req.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
HttpWebResponse Res = (HttpWebResponse)Req.GetResponse();
currentWebBrowser.Document.Cookie = Res.Cookies.ToString();
At which moment should I get the cookies? And is my code correct?

You have to preserve the cookies returned from your login request and reuse those cookies on all subsequent requests - the authentication cookie tells the server that you are in fact logged in already. E.g. see here on how to do that.

Issues retrieving facebook social plugin comments for page, C# HttpWebRequest class

I'm hoping I've done something knuckle-headed here and there is an easy answer. I'm simply trying to retrieve the list of comments for a page on my site. I use the social plug-in and then retrieve the comment id via the edge event. Server side I send the page id back and do a simple request using a HttpWebRequest. Worked well back in October, but now I get an 'internal error' response from FB. I can use the same url string put it into a browser and get the comments back in the browser in json.
StringBuilder url = new StringBuilder();
url.Append("https://graph.facebook.com/comments/?ids=" + comment.page);
string requestString = url.ToString();
HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(requestString) as HttpWebRequest;
HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse;
Ideas? Thanks much in advance.

Since you're using the Facebook C# SDK (per your tag), try:
var url = "{your url}";
var api = new Facebook.FacebookClient(appId,appSec);
dynamic commentsObj = api.Get("/comments/?ids=" + url);
dynamic arrayOfComments = commentsObj[url].data

Get the .ASPXAUTH cookie value programmatically

Is there a way to get the .ASPXAUTH value programmatically.
Example I login to a website with my own credentials (POST) and then read the response...it does not return the .APSXAUTH in the CookieContainer that I use to track the session.
Anyone has a clue how can I get it and send it with the subsequent gets and posts?
[EDIT] Here's what I do to be more specific:
send a HTTP GET to a page. read values like _VIEWSTATE etc.
send a HTTP POST to the Login page. It includes the login information.
The server sends a 302 response (redirect) to some Default page. The forms authentication cookie is supposed to be included but it's not.
So I was thinking that there might be a better way than this to track session:
CookieContainer _cookieJar = new CookieContainer();
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(_url);
request.CookieContainer = _cookieJar;

So the summarize the answer:
If you're trying to login programatically on a Forms based authentication website trough your own application make sure you follow the steps you take that track the cookies.
First create a initial GET request, and then do the subsequential POST requests that will do the postback.The request and the responses should be formulated in this way:
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(_url);
request.CookieContainer = _cookieJar;
HttpWebResponse httpsResponse = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
The CookieContainer class handles the cookies as expected.
And if your response is encoded with Gzip just include the following line:
request.AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip | DecompressionMethods.Deflate;
before you call request.GetResponse()
Hope this helps someone out there.
