console Output for the build

I am using following commands to get the path of console log

echo $JENKINS_HOME/jobs/$JOB_NAME/builds/${BUILD_NUMBER}/log

echo $BUILD_URL/consoleText

It would provide the path to console log

http://localhost:8080/job/Echo/25//consoleText

but if i try to get the data from it using c#.net it would through me a exception

I am using following code to get the data

 public string Download_Contents(string URI)
    {
        string Data = string.Empty;
        try
        {
            using (var wc = new System.Net.WebClient())
                Data = wc.DownloadString(URI);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            throw ex;
        }
        return Data;
    }

So for using the consoleFull i'm getting very dirty output using curl

example:

curl -s -S  -u "user":"password" "http://jenkins.domain.com/job/my_job_name/1077/consoleFull"

output: many lines wrapped with html stuff:

 <span class="timestamp"><b>09:04:32</b> </span><span style="color: #00CD00;">ok:</span>

so my solution is to use:

curl -s -S  -u "user":"password" "http://jenkins.domain.com/job/my_job_name/1077/logText/progressiveText?start=0"

and you will get the same console log output without the html,span stuff
