How do I do a postback to a CGI service

I am building a C# client for a CGI service (not sure what its called exactly).

It accepts a bunch of XML and spits out a response. I have tested it straight in Firefox and it works (see below).

Now I am not sure how to do this in C# code though? Does anyone have a helpful snippet of code, I can't imagine it would be that difficult?

You're looking for the WebClient class.

For example: (2^nd EDIT: With GZIP; this code is tested and actually works)

string response;
using (var client = new WebClient()) {
    byte[] bytes = client.DownloadData(url);
    using(var reader = new StreamReader(new GZipStream(new MemoryStream(bytes), CompressionMode.Decompress)))
        response = reader.ReadToEnd();
}

However, if the URL returns raw XML, you can also load the XML directly from the URL, like this:

var doc = XDocument.Load(url);
