C# command curl equivalent insecure

Question

This is my curl command:

curl --insecure https://api.github.com/user?access_token=xxx

Is there a way to convert this into a C# code? I've tried various solutions, but all failed. I think the problem is the --insecure parameter.

This is my code:

String goodUrl = "http://www.google.com";
        String badUrl = "https://api.github.com/user?access_token=36905f6fffa42341c2e6fd12655295f2b4d25";
        var json1 = new WebClient().DownloadString(goodUrl);
        var json2 = new WebClient().DownloadString(badUrl);

GoodUrl is working fine, badUrl not. The error is "protocol violation".

Do you just want the html or are you looking to download a file? — Pseudonym, Mar 26 '14 at 14:17
The output is just in json format. I have to put the result into a simple var. — user840718, Mar 26 '14 at 14:18
Have a look at the accepted answer to this question, it shows a couple of ways to do something like this in C#: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7929013/making-a-curl-call-in-c-sharp — andyp, Mar 26 '14 at 20:49

Try this on for size:

var json = new WebClient().DownloadString("url");

Returns error "protocol violation", because I think SSL is not supported. – user840718 Mar 26 '14 at 14:21
