Hello
WebClient is an easy way to retrieve web pages. However, the server I need to connect to uses a cookie to keep track of the user from page to page, authentication by POSTing login/password, and I would like to go through a web proxy and also would like the library to not to freeze the UI since this application will run for several minutes (so I guess that means using an asynchronous library since otherwise, Windows prevents the UI from being responsive).
Does WebClient support those features, or must I use a richer library, such as WebRequest/Webresponse?
Thank you.
