Since this question and my previous answer is fairly old now, a more modern answer would be to use HttpClient from System.Net.Http

using System.Net.Http;

namespace ConsoleApp2
{
    class Program
    {
        async static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
            string result = await client.GetStringAsync("https://example.com/test.txt");
        }
    }
}

If not within an async function, then:

string result = client.GetStringAsync("https://example.com/test.txt").Result;
