System.Web
-
I'm trying to port an application that heavily relies on the classes in the System.Web namespace (a lot of http requests and responses). The problem is, I can't seem to find anything similar in Silverlight. Am I missing something, or is Silverlight that crippled? :S
Where it seems there are only borderlines, Where others turn and sigh, You shall rise!

No, you're not missing anything. In order to provide the full .NET functionality though, would require Silverlight to be downloaded as a several hundred megabyte download - so, a lot of functionality has been omitted.

So, a web app framework doesn't have any way to send/receive http requests? Darn... that's a suprise :(

Yes it does - it's perfectly possible for Silverlight to work with WCF using basicHttpBinding.

Thanks. I somehow missed those. Is there a way to make any of these work synchronously? I'm trying to avoid a major reorganization of a working code because of asynchronous requests.
