php - Echo Nest API: convert curl command for checking rate limit to c# -

i'm trying convert curl command c#

curl -i 'http://developer.echonest.com/api/v4/artist/profile?api_key=[api key]&name=weezer' 

this returns response header content so:

http/1.1 200 ok content-length: 135 x-ratelimit-limit: 120 x-ratelimit-remaining: 62 x-ratelimit-used: 58 

i tried code when run it, gets exception: "http error 405 method not allowed".

string baseurl = "http://developer.echonest.com/api/v4/artist/profile?api_key=[api key]&name=weezer"; httpwebrequest request = (httpwebrequest)webrequest.create(baseurl); request.method = "post"; request.accept = "application/json"; request.useragent = "curl/7.37.0"; request.contenttype = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";  using (var streamwriter = new streamwriter(request.getrequeststream())) {     string data = "browser=win7x64-c1|chrome32|1024x768&url=http://www.google.com";     streamwriter.write(data); }  var response = request.getresponse(); string text;  using (var sr = new streamreader(response.getresponsestream())) {     text = sr.readtoend();     console.writeline(text); } 

any appreciated.

as changes daniel suggested, remove useragent. after that, looks pretty c# i'm using successfully. here's shortened version of that:

    string baseurl = "http://developer.echonest.com/api/v4/artist/profile?api_key=[api key]&name=weezer";     var req = (httpwebrequest) webrequest.create(baseurl);     req.method = webrequestmethods.http.get;     req.accept = "application/json";      using (var response = (httpwebresponse) req.getresponse())     {         if (response.statuscode == httpstatuscode.ok)         {             var stream = response.getresponsestream();             if (stream != null)             {                 using (var sr = new streamreader(stream))                 {                     responsestring = sr.readtoend();                 }                  var remaining = getrateinfo(response.headers, "x-ratelimit-remaining");                 var used = getrateinfo(response.headers, "x-ratelimit-used");                 var limit = getrateinfo(response.headers, "x-ratelimit-limit");                 trace.writeline($"excedeed echonest limits: remaining {remaining} - used {used} - limit {limit}");             }         }         else         {             // error handling         } 

// , header parsing code:

    private static int getrateinfo(webheadercollection headers, string type)     {         var s = headers.get(type);         if (s == null)             return -1;          int info;         return int.tryparse(s, out info) ? info : -1;     }
