        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create("http://example.com/path/to/file");

        request.UseDefaultCredentials = true;

        if (request.Proxy == null)
        {
            request.Proxy = new WebProxy("http://example.com");
        }
        request.Proxy.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;

HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)(request.GetResponse());

You can use the WebClient.DownloadString Method to make an HTTP GET request and get the HTTP response body as string returned:

using (var client = new WebClient())
{
    string result = client.DownloadString("http://example.com/path/to/file");

    switch (result)
    {
        case "OK":
        case "NUMBER NOT IN LIST":
        case "ERROR":
            break;
    }
}
