Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
For .NET Core and .NET 5+, this namespace contains the HttpUtility class.
For .NET Framework, this namespace contains classes and interfaces that enable browser-server communication. These classes include the HttpRequest class, which provides extensive information about the current HTTP request; the HttpResponse class, which manages HTTP output to the client; and the 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 in .NET Framework.
