Example of scraping urls asnchronously using async, await and tasks

async.cs

async System.Threading.Tasks.Task Main()
{
	await Get("http://bbc.co.uk").ContinueWith(async r => {
		using(var resp = r.Result.GetResponseStream())
		{
			var content = new MemoryStream();
			await resp.CopyToAsync(content);
			var html = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(content.ToArray());
			html.Dump(); // linqpad		
		}
	});

	await Get("http://amazon.co.uk").ContinueWith(async r => {
		using(var resp = r.Result.GetResponseStream())
		{
			var content = new MemoryStream();
			await resp.CopyToAsync(content);
			var html = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(content.ToArray());
			html.Dump(); // linqpad		
		}
	});
}

public async System.Threading.Tasks.Task<System.Net.WebResponse> Get(string url)
{
	var req = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(url);
	req.Method = "GET";
	var resp = await req.GetResponseAsync();
	return resp;
