HttpWebRequest throws "The remote server returned an error: NotFound." on VS for Win Phone

Question

I know other people posted the same issue, I read those posts but their solutions didn't work to me :(

I am creating a C# app on Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone.

The app needs to send a HTTP GET but doesn't seem to work. To test it I cut out all the headers and everything else, and just kept the core code...but still throws me the same exception:

HttpWebRequest webRequest;
webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.google.com");
webRequest.Method = "GET";
webRequest.BeginGetResponse(new AsyncCallback(GetRequestCallback), webRequest);

and

private void GetRequestCallback(IAsyncResult result)
{
    HttpWebResponse response = (result.AsyncState as HttpWebRequest).EndGetResponse(result) as HttpWebResponse;
}

The debug stops inside of GetRequestCallback function throwing:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Net.WebException' occurred in System.Windows.dll
Additional information: The remote server returned an error: NotFound.

I also looked into the manifest, and these are the capabilities:

<Capabilities>
  <Capability Name="ID_CAP_GAMERSERVICES"/>
  <Capability Name="ID_CAP_IDENTITY_DEVICE"/>
  <Capability Name="ID_CAP_IDENTITY_USER"/>
  <Capability Name="ID_CAP_LOCATION"/>
  <Capability Name="ID_CAP_MEDIALIB"/>
  <Capability Name="ID_CAP_MICROPHONE"/>
  <Capability Name="ID_CAP_NETWORKING"/>
  <Capability Name="ID_CAP_PHONEDIALER"/>
  <Capability Name="ID_CAP_PUSH_NOTIFICATION"/>
  <Capability Name="ID_CAP_SENSORS"/>
  <Capability Name="ID_CAP_WEBBROWSERCOMPONENT"/>
  <Capability Name="ID_CAP_ISV_CAMERA"/>
  <Capability Name="ID_CAP_CONTACTS"/>
  <Capability Name="ID_CAP_APPOINTMENTS"/>
</Capabilities>

Also, I have been trying with and without Fiddler open but nothing changes. However, when it is open, I can't see any request sent from my machine. It's like if the app really doesn't even access the internet.

Any idea? What am I doing wrong? Should I setup something more on my pc to develop an app that can access the internet, or maybe use a different version of Visual Studio?
