Why the Microsoft.Http library is awesome.

In various forums I a finding myself raving about this new library.  I decided that I should write some blog posts on the subject for a few reasons.  1) to convince myself that there is actually some substance to my raving; 2) provide a place to point people to in order to substantiate my infatuation and 3) maybe encourage a few more people to use it before it gets relegated to the dustbin of Microsoft’s forgotten projects.

Here are the posts I am planning.  I will create the links as the posts are completed.

• The basics
• HttpContent instead of streams
• But can you test it?
• HttpClient on the server

You can get the library here 
From what I have been told, this library will not make it into the .Net 4 release but it is still being actively developed.
