I'm not sure why, but if you have this:
byte[] googleHome = webClient.DownloadData("https://www.google.com");
It won't work, and you'll get an Error:
System.Net.WebException: 'The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable.'
If you update that to:
byte[] bingHome= webClient.DownloadData("https://www.bing.com");
Then it works as anticipated.
