How to download direct from TXT file

Question

I uploaded a file to a WEB server, but when I use this code:

 WebClient update = new WebClient();
string Teste = update.DownloadString("http://testexxx.000webhostapp.com/teste.txt");

Returns this error: Configurationerrorsexception: Unrecognized element.

Because it is not downloading the file directly, because when it opens the file on the site it shows what is inside and does not download, how can I fix it?

Answer 1

Set the header for WebClient for Text/Plain:

using (WebClient wc = new WebClient())
{
    wc.Headers.Set("Content-Type", "text/plain");
    url = "http://www.dominio.com.br/teste.txt";
    string retorno = wc.DownloadString(url);
}

Edit:

Using the Pastebin link:

using (WebClient wc = new WebClient())
{
    //retorno = wc.DownloadString(url);

    url = "https://pastebin.com/raw/xdTbdD5P";
    wc.Headers.Set("Content-Type", "text/plain");
    retorno = wc.DownloadString(url);

}

Upshot:
