pretty much...i want to do something like this:
Stream Answer = WebResp.GetResponseStream();
Response.OutputStream = Answer;
Is this possible?

No, but you can of course copy the data, either synchronously or asynchronously.
- Allocate a buffer (like 4kb in size or so)
- Do a read, which will either return the number of bytes read or 0 if the end of the stream has been reached
- If data was received, write the amount read and loop to the read
Like so:
using (Stream answer = webResp.GetResponseStream()) {
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
for (int read = answer.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length); read > 0; read = answer.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) {
Response.OutputStream.Write(buffer, 0, read);
}
}

This answer has a method CopyStream to copy data between streams (and also indicates the built-in way to do it in .NET 4).
You could do something like:
using (stream answer = WebResp.GetResponseStream())
{
CopyStream(answer, Response.OutputStream);
Response.Flush();
}
