HtmlAgilityPack中的NullReferenceException

Question

我正在尝试使用xpath从下面提到的url中提取link

string url = "http://www.album-cover-art.org/search.php?q=Ruin+-+Live+Album+Version+Lamb+of+God"

我的代码：

HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlWeb web = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlWeb();
HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument htmlDoc = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument();
htmlDoc = web.Load(url); //Exception generated here Line 23

if (htmlDoc.DocumentNode != null)
{
  HtmlNode linkNode = htmlDoc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode(".//*[@id='related_search_row']/img/@src");
  if (linkNode != null)
        Console.WriteLine(linkNode.InnerText);
}

上面的代码编译得很好，但是当我尝试运行它时，它会产生一个异常

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

完整的堆栈跟踪

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

所以，我的问题是为什么我会得到这个例外。

这是HtmlAgilityPack中的一个错误。您试图解析的文档具有<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-utf-8">，其中charset值(iso-utf-8)不能被AgilityPack解析为有效的编码名称。作为Simon Mourier said，这是1.4.0.0中引入的一个错误。

要避免这种情况，请手动从流中加载文档，并手动设置编码，如下所示：

var htmlDoc = new HtmlDocument();
htmlDoc.OptionReadEncoding = false;
var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
request.Method = "GET";
using (var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
{
    using (var stream = response.GetResponseStream())
    {
        htmlDoc.Load(stream, Encoding.UTF8);
    }
}
