How to access HttpContext from standalone class

I'm getting "'HttpContext' does not exist in the class or namespace
'System.Web'" from trying to build (with Microsoft Development
Environment 2003, ver. 7.1.3088, .NET Framework 1.1, ver. 1.1.4322)
something like this:

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
using System.Text;

namespace A
{
public class A
{
public A()
{
// get value from HTTP header
NameValueCollection collection;
collection = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables;

// etc., etc.
}
}
}


What I would like to do is to create a standalone class "A", which can
be used in an aspx file like so:

<%@ Import Namespace="A" %>
<script language="C#" runat="server">
void Page_Load( Object Sender, EventArgs e ) {
A a = new A();
// etc, etc.
}

I feel pretty stupid staring at a message like that, after having
checked

Is that class "A" defined in a separate class-library project?
Did you reference the System.Web dll there?

Yes (as in File->New->Project->Class Library).

Not besides fully qualifying HttpContext. But it makes no difference if
I include a "using System.Web;" statement. Can I reference System.Web
in another way?

I think what Hans means is, did you add a reference to System.Web.dll
in your class library project?
