How do I find what nuget packages contain the project I want

I'm making a class library that exposes an action filter and will be published with NuGet. I'm trying to install the following with NuGet:

System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer in assembly System.Web.Extensions.

System.Web.HttpContextBase in assembly System.Web.

How do I find which NuGet package contains these assemblies?

So you are trying to create a NuGet package and you want it to add a reference to System.Web and System.Web.Extensions to the project when it is installed.

For GAC references you do this by adding a frameworkAssembly element to your .nuspec file. The example below is taken from the NuGet documentation.

<frameworkAssemblies>
  <frameworkAssembly assemblyName="System.ServiceModel" targetFramework="net40" />
  <frameworkAssembly assemblyName="System.Web"  />
</frameworkAssemblies>

With the above in your .nuspec file your NuGet package will add a reference to System.ServiceModel and System.Web if they do not already exist in the project.

Both System.Web.Extensions and System.Web are part of the framework, so there are no nuget packages for them.
