I'm trying to read a file that I have a web address for into a byte array. I've been using File.ReadAllBytes to read files locally and I've been unable to figure out the cleanest way to do this for a file on the web.

I imagine this is just a quick snippet of code, but everything I can find through search is only for local files.
