Error when Parsing RSS

Question

I 'm trying to parse RSS feeds and then display them on my website. My code seems to work correctly when parsing techcrunch & arstechnica RSS. But when I try to parse HackerNews RSS I get the an error.

    XmlReader readXML;
    readXML = XmlReader.Create(GetURL());
    SyndicationFeed News= SyndicationFeed.Load(readXML);
    readXML.Close();
    return News;

I get the following error on readXML = XmlReader.Create(GetURL()); geturl is the url for rss.

The server committed a protocol violation. Section=ResponseStatusLine

Any suggestions why I 'm getting the above error. Thanks

1.) You can add the following <httpWebRequest useUnsafeHeaderParsing="true" /> in the Web Config file to solve the server committed a protocol violation

<configuration>

</settings>
</system.net>
</configuration>
