It's purpose is stated in the first paragraph, "This class allows to forge an HTTP request equivalent to an HTML form post." 
Perhaps it needs to be worded differently to make it more clear?

It is simply an easier manner in which to craft and submit a HTML form than using HttpClient. As you can see, it inherits 
HttpClient and introduces four new methods: Add, AddFile, Remove, and Submit.

I don't have time at the moment to create and test an example. But, it should be relatively simple following the HttpClient 
examples. Just add your form data using the .Add() method [ie. HttpForm.Add("myField1", "myValue1")] as many times as needed, 
and then submit the form with HttpForm.Submit().
