How To Simulate Browser HTTP POST Request and Capture Result in C# - Stack Overflow

The document asks how to simulate an HTTP POST request and capture the result in C#, as submitting data via a POST request cannot be initialized directly through the URL like a GET request. It provides an answer that the WebClient class in C# allows uploading data to a URL via the POST method, and provides an example of using WebClient to post parameters and capture the result. The example code generates a POST request with the parameters and headers needed to simulate the request programmatically.
