Posting to a web server without installing IIS

I have an XML file that I need to post (request/response) that is created on
the fly using data from a mainframe. Will I need to install IIS in order to
do this or can it be done without installing IIS? If I can do this without
IIS, what classes should I be looking at? (A source for examples would be
great)

William,

IIS is used for serving up responses to requests from web clients.

If you want to post a request to a web server, you do not need IIS
installed. All you need to do is use the HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse
classes in the System.Net namespace.

Hope this helps.

Is this preferrable over WebClient?
