I'm new to F# and stuck in understanding async in F# from the perspective of a C# developer. Say having the following snippet in C#: var httpClient = new HttpClient(); var response = await httpClient.GetAsync(url); response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode(); string content = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync(); How to write the same in F#? Here is a function that should do what you're looking for (note that you'll have to wrap the code in an asynchronous computation expression in order to use the let! syntax): let getAsync (url:string) = async { let httpClient = new System.Net.Http.HttpClient()

I have a Windows Phone 8 app where I am calling await HttpClient.PostAsync and it never returns a result. It just sits there and hangs. If I run the exact same code from a console app, it returns the result almost immediately. All of the code doing the work resides in a portable class library. I would appreciate any help you may be able to give. All of the other issues I have found on this state to use await client.PostAsync, which I am already doing. The code in my class library is as such: public class Authenticator { private const string ApiBaseUrl = "http://api.fitbit.com"; private const

I am having difficulties to understand on how the bellow code could handle occasional internet connection loss. Ideally I would like to pause the app, once the connection is lost, and resume when it is up again. Is there any guideline on how to do it? HttpClientHandler clientHandler = new HttpClientHandler(); clientHandler.UseDefaultCredentials = true; HttpClient client = new HttpClient(clientHandler) { MaxResponseContentBufferSize = 1000000 }; HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(Url, ct); The following example is not a direct solution, but it is an example I built to show how

Is there a guaranteed way to cancel a post when using HttpClient? I currently have a call do PostAsync that I am attempting to cancel using a cancellationToken, but it appears that it does not actually abort/stop the operation. I still can see that the image I am uploading is posted properly. Am I doing something wrong here or is it possible that HttpClient is not processing the cancellation token until after the upload? var sc = new StreamContent(uploadFile.Data); content.Add(sc, uploadFile.FieldName, uploadFile.FileName); var request = new HttpRequestMessage { RequestUri = new Uri
