Call http url (php) generates always WebException

I can call the following url in a browser and it works:

http://test.shop.ch/shop/Admin/caller/caller_aufruf.php?do=set_kategorien

It does not give soemthing back - only execute the php.

But when I try to call the same with C# like

using (var client = new WebClient()) {
    var uri = new Uri("http://test.shop.ch/shop/Admin/caller/caller_aufruf.php?do=set_kategorien");
    cResponse = client.DownloadString(uri);
}

I always get a WebException:

The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.

Can someone help me, what I am doing wrong? - Thanks.

Status code 401 that you are getting is indicating that you do not have permissions.
Which means that before you can call setcategory you need to obtain a token (or cookie) by calling login page, or send it in headers or whatever mechanism of authentication is used on your shop site and only then you can call setcategory.
