Now then when i add that url to anything on my form that accepts the url as a string it does not show.

It also does not show in a picture box unless i download it by bytes but i need it as a url string like above.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

So you suggest to download the image and use it that way ? You see i have a discord bot and going to add HF api features to it. it will return uerinfo from the UID and this includes the avatar.

A picture box was me trying to figure out a way.

This is why I need it as a string not an object or bytes.

I suppose i could download use then delete but that takes a second longer and with it being a discord bot i can not have anything that would slow it down. 1 second is not much, x by 10 users thats 10 seconds.

Thanks

If i say there is nothing wrong with 1 small line of code to simply load an image from a url then that's true.

The issue lies with the url, it must be as other images load just fine.

Thanks for your useless comment. Have a good day.

webrequest into a bitmap object, i can get it to load converting it to bytes as i mentioned in the first post but only by using the credts for HF api and header, works fine.

but as you know you can not convert an object like that to a string.

Code

Dim MyWebClient As New System.Net.WebClient

        MyWebClient.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("My HF API Key, "")
        MyWebClient.Headers.Add("user-agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.2) Gecko/20110201")

        Dim Avatar_ImageInBytes() As Byte = MyWebClient.DownloadData("https://hackforums.net/uploads/avatars/avatar_806990.png")
        Dim Avatar_ImageStream As New IO.MemoryStream(Avatar_ImageInBytes)

        Form1.PictureBox1.Image = New System.Drawing.Bitmap(Avatar_ImageStream)

Thanks

Not sure what you would need an API key for here... You're just cluelessly grasping at straws there -- And if you knew how to use the debugger you could also verify a cloudflare issue.

This is working entirely fine for me:

Code

using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
   client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("User-Agent", @"Dummy");
   var stream = await client.GetStreamAsync("https://hackforums.net/uploads/avatars/avatar_806990.png").ConfigureAwait(false);
   using (var image = Image.FromStream(stream))
       image.Save("out.png", ImageFormat.Png);
}

This is about as basic as it gets before further error handling is added.
