Issue in downloading a file from client website ,

I need to download a file from  a client website, I have the main URL, next the user needs to click the export data hyper link on the webpage.
I am unable to trap the complete URL in fiddler

Here is the main URL
https://advisors.vanguard.com/VGApp/iip/site/advisor/investments/portfoliodetails?fundId=0986&compositionTabBox=1#hold/

Then once on this page the user needs to click the Export data hyperlink.

I want to download this file programattically using
HttpWebrequest or htmlAgiltity but I need the complete url

Not sure how I am going to simulate that, usually the url can be detected on Fiddler
I would think that you need something that can automate a web page:

Internet Explorer Automation
WebBrowser Control
Selenium
Provided an ok solution, I am still unable to download the data. But closing this question
