+# HTTP GET Arrow Data: Simple C# Client Example
+
+This directory contains a minimal example of an HTTP client implemented in C#. The client:
+
+1. Sends an HTTP GET request to a server.
+2. Receives an HTTP 200 response from the server, with the response body containing an Arrow IPC stream of record batches.
+3. Adds the record batches to a list as they are received.
+
+To run this example, first start one of the server examples in the parent directory, then:
+
+```sh
+dotnet run -c Release
+```
