HttpClient instead of WebClient
See original GitHub issueWhen using PuppeteerSharp with BlazorWASM, i get the following error
System.PlatformNotSupportedException: System.Net.WebClient is not supported on this platform. Use System.Net.Http.HttpClient instead. at System.Net.WebClient..ctor() at PuppeteerSharp.BrowserFetcher..ctor() in C:\projects\puppeteer-sharp\lib\PuppeteerSharp\BrowserFetcher.cs:line 53
Is there any plan to update Puppeteer to work use HttpClient instead of WebClient

According to my quick GitHub search, there is only one place where
WebClientis being used: in BrowserFetcher.I would take a bite and say it should be pretty easy to migrate from
WebClienttoHttpClient.I tried porting to HttpClient, but unfortunately it wasn’t the only blocker for using PuppeteerSharp with BlazorWASM. System.Diagnostics.Process is used for launching the browser, with or without Headless mode, and it’s not supported either. I don’t think supporting WASM will be easy.
