How to run a URL behind the scenes without displaying it in a browser?

Question

I want to basically run the URL that I would create behind the scenes without displaying it in the browser to the user ... I think I could use HTTPWebRequest or maybe something similar to curl? ... but do I need to really just basically start / run the generated url? How can i do this?

Answer 1

Use the WebRequest class and its friends.

Other more modern options are the WebClient class, which may be easier to use in some cases, and the HttpClient class , which gives you very detailed control over requests and responses.
