Remote files (read/write) and scripting environment

Unity Engine
1

Hello Unity community,

I have experience coding in different languages but I haven’t been able to understand two things:

  1. When doing AR, is Unity kind of a shell, or script holder? What I mean with this is, will all the C# functions work when running a Unity App (Android/iOS) or are there some specifics to “Unity C#”?

and

  1. Can someone give me direction on how to read a text file from a website/server? I am really confused with all the information I’ve found: HTTP requests, PHP, StartCoRoutine, StreamReader, UniNet (or something like that) not supported any more, etc. I don’t need the code but your opinion/direction on what is the best method to do this. I would like to work with C#.

I really appreciate your inputs.
