.NET Framework 4 Client Profile + System.Web.dll?

Question

I\'m currently developing an application for .NET 4 Client Profile, as this is the version that will be present on most home computers through Windows Update.

If you are just wanting to use the HttpWebRequest, it is available in the client profile for .Net 4.

Here's an example that you can try, just create a new console app using the .Net 4 Client Profile and paste this into Program.cs...

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;

namespace ConsoleApplication3
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var request = WebRequest.Create("http://google.com");
            var response = request.GetResponse();
            using (var s = response.GetResponseStream())
            using( var sr = new StreamReader(s))
            {
                Console.Write(sr.ReadToEnd());
            }

            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }
}

You asked about HttpCookieCollection in one of your comments. It seems that HttpWebRequest uses a CookieContainer to store the cookies.
