    POST/GET to website from inside VB.NET?

    I want to make a manual HTTP processor, but need to do GET/POST requests
    that could include post data such as button clicks or text fields... i know
    i read about this once before in straight .NET code, anyone have any
    articles on how to do this? I don't want anything visual, just to get the
    contents of the request back as text. thanks!

      Well I've worked with the web client and I am having problems posting form
      data to a page... I keep getting back 405 errors form the server... how do
      you post form data to the client and get a response? thanks!
