title: HttpWebRequest vs Webclient (Special scenario)
body: <p>I know this question has been answered before in this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1694388/webclient-vs-httpwebrequest-httpwebresponse">thread</a>, but I couldn't seem to find the details. </p>
  
  <p>In my scenario, I am building a console application which will keep an eye on html page source for any changes. If any update/change occurs, I will perform further operations. Moreover, I'll also perform a request after every 1 second, or as soon as the previous request finishes. </p>
  
  <p>I can't seem to figure out should I use <code>HttpWebRequest</code> or <code>WebClient</code> for downloading the html page source and perform comparison? What do you think would be an ideal solution in my case? Speed and reliability both :)</p>
