System.Net.WebClient

Answer 2

You can use the .net HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse to do this. See the example code below.

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("url");
request.Timeout = 5000;

using (WebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
{
    Stream responeStream = response.GetResponseStream();

    //do something with the response stream
}

Enjoy!
