Easy alternative to HttpWebRequest for POST requests?
<p>I need to trigger an action on a remote server using an http <code>POST</code> request. The server sends a response, either <code>Y</code> or <code>N</code>, to inform me if the action suceeded or not.</p>

<p>I am looking at using <code>HttpWebRequest</code> to do this, but this seems too complex. To use this class you have to set all the headers, such as content type and content length.</p>

<p>Is there a quicker way to send a <code>POST</code> request that doesn't require setting lower level properties such as this?</p>
