HttpClient as already suggested but, the framework does suffer from a myriad of choices (mostly due to historical choices). HttpWebRequest can do it too, any number of proxies as well. Or you can go lower level but I would suggest getting familiar with HttpClient. That way of working is the way things will get done in the future (imho).

I was kind of looking for the out of the box way. But will have a look at RestSharp, always handy to know whats out there. They invent this stuff faster than anyone can learn it all. :) On Fri, Feb 1, 2013 at 2:53 PM, Mark Thompson <matho...@internode.on.net <mailto:matho...@internode.on.net> > wrote: You might like to try something like RestSharp ( http://restsharp.org/ ) - it has some very nice helpers for adding request parameters and additional headers.

I found a console C# app that uses the Asp.Net Web API Client libraries to call one. I've also found some examples of how to write the Web API's using MVC. So am scratching my head.. what httpX namespace is the right one to use? HttpClient? something else? cheers, Stephen
