Consuming REST based web services in .Net

Question

Greetings,

I\'m confused as to the best approach to make when consuming REST based web services with .Net. At the moment I\'m using the System.net.webclient class.

If you use the WCF REST starter kit, there's pretty much no technical downside. There's a learning curve, however, and it will only work if you have .Net 3.5 SP1 (so I guess that's the down side).
