The classes that you're looking for are the HttpRequest class
and the HttpResponse class. They are both in the System.Web namespace
and will do exactly what you're looking for (read/write from HTTP).

However, if you are doing a lot of I/O using the HttpRequest and
HttpResponse in .NET, you might want to sit back and evaluate whether
or not you can convert some of your code to use Web Services rather than
the low level request/response interface.

I cannot even get to were you got. Do I have to add any references to be
able to use "ServerXMLHTTP"?
