ASP.NET MVC - Using cURL or similar to perform requests in application

Question

I\'m building an application in ASP.NET MVC (using C#) and I would like to know how I can perform calls like curl http://www.mywebsite.com/clients_list.xml inside my controller

Look into the System.Net.WebClient class. It should offer the functionality you require. For finer grained control, you might find WebRequest to be more useful, but WebClient seems the best fit for your needs.
