HTTP Request

How do I make a HTTP request from a class?
I am writing a component that will run outside of the webserver. This
component will send xml files to another http server. I am not using SOAP.

WebRequest myWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(str.ToString());

// Set the 'Timeout' property in Milliseconds.

#warning timeout value was set to 10000 for testing purpose

myWebRequest.Timeout = 10000;

// This request will throw a WebException if it reaches the timeout limit
before it is able to fetch the resource.

// ProductData _data = new ProductData();

DataSet ds = new DataSet("test");

try

{

WebResponse myWebResponse = myWebRequest.GetResponse();

StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(myWebResponse.GetResponseStream());

XmlTextReader read = new XmlTextReader(reader);

ds.ReadXml(read);

}

catch(WebException ex)

{

Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message);

throw;

Check out System.Net.WebClient or System.Net.HttpWebRequest.
