The thing is, HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse would be *ideal* for
what I want to do. Since they don't have this fundamental
functionality, I'm going to have to reinvent the wheel.
I will now have to go and make two classes, called HttpRequest and
HttpResponse, which act exactly like the above two, except that they
allow "raw" packet access. In this case, .NET is nowhere near ideal
for the lazy programmer, as has been claimed many a time.

Why do MS tout it as the be-all and end-all then? I see now that this
is *false* advertising.
