About this tag
HttpWebRequest is a legacy .NET class for sending HTTP requests, now largely superseded by HttpClient in modern applications. On WindowsForum.com, discussions cover its deprecation in Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps, where developers are advised to use System.Net.Http.HttpClient or Windows.Web.Http.HttpClient instead.
