System.Web Namespace

The System.Web namespace supplies classes and interfaces that enable browser-server communication. This namespace includes the System.Web.HttpRequest class, which provides extensive information about the current HTTP request; the System.Web.HttpResponse class, which manages HTTP output to the client; and the System.Web.HttpServerUtility class, which provides access to server-side utilities and processes. System.Web also includes classes for cookie manipulation, file transfer, exception information, and output cache control.
