How to access web page for download

[Gary Owsiany]

I am building a new aggregator (using windows desktop forms, not web pages)
and would like to allow the user to download an rss source from the web by
entering the URL. Do I use an HttpRequest object? If so, any examples of
doing an HTTP Get?
Thanks,
Gary

Have a look at 'WebClient.DownloadFile'?

Making a GET request is pretty easy:

However, there's an open source library for consuming and producing RSS
feeds:

I'm building this for my own learning. I will look at the open source to see how they do it
Thanks
