static internal class ResponseExtensions
{
    public static string GetLinkValue(this WebResponse response, string rel)
    {
        return (from header in response.Headers["Link"].Split(',')
                let components = header.Split(';')
                let uri = components[0]
                where components.Any(
                    component =>
                    Regex.IsMatch(component,
                                  @"rel\s*=\s*" + Regex.Escape(rel)))
                select uri.Substring(1, uri.Length - 2))
            .FirstOrDefault();
