Can scripts connect to the Internet?

I want the script to automatically check for updates. If so, prompt the user to go to the webpage to update and download.

It seems `System.Net.WebClient` doesn't work.

Yes, scripts can connect to the internet. In fact, I've written a full browser into a window in a script as a test one time. I would think that System.Net.WebClient should work fine. Anything .NET/C# should be fine.

But it got an error.
