Anyone know how to get the damn thing working? Tried to add it as a reference, but no joy.
 
Because Httpwebrequest and response are obsolete.
 
it looks like you are searching for libcurl, which is a 3rd party library. i assume you have downloaded it and added that as a reference? there shouldn't be any curl libraries in the .net framework.

i wouldn't say httpwebrequest is obsolete, but it is weak compared to say, your own http library.
 
well i dont know what u wanna do but in my case i did a tough automation via httpwebrequest well best of luck

Tried using libcurl, but my version of VB didn't wanna play.

In my version of VB there is a warning in the SDK when you try to instantiate httpwebrequest: "httpwebrequest is obsolete, please use system.net.webclient instead". Problem is, I've never played with webclient before, so I'm stuck.
 
Just use HttpWebRequest -> HttpWebResponse.
I still use them and they work fine.
I'm using the Webclient cast as HttpWebRequest though:
(HttpWebRequest) Webclient();
 
I used curl as an external exe via command line, worked for me in Blitz3d, will work with any language
