I want to watch all the HTTP requests going out of a certain application and cancel them if needed.
Is there a way to do this in C#?

If you can touch the system’s proxy configuration (which is used by many applications) or, if the app doesn’t heed that setting, touch the application’s configuration to use a proxy of your choice, you can create a HTTP proxy that would do the job for you.
If you just want to profile, there is a ready made tool that behaves like this and is very nice, Fiddler.
Else you’d have to go deeper into the network stack and implement something like a sniffer/firewall, for instance using WinPcap. That’s a lot harder to do.
