I am doing a project for multiple platforms where I have followed best practices and created a core project to contain all the code that is the same on all platforms. To do the network communication I would like to use HttpClient which seems to be the recommended approach for communicating with web services going forward. I am NOT doing a PCL but just a standard C# library to contain the core project. However it seems that there is no common implementation of HttpClient but only platform specific ones. I cannot reference and use it in my core but only in my Android and iOS projects. I would

I'm trying to send a file with HttpClient and if something on the receiving side fails I want to resend the same file stream. I'm creating a post request with a MultipartFormDataContent, which contains the stream. Everything looks fine when I call PostAsync for the first time. But when I try to repeat the request I get System.ObjectDisposedException. My file stream is disposed after the first call of PostAsync... Why and is there a solution to my problem? Here is basic example of what am I talking about. public ActionResult Index() { var client = new HttpClient { BaseAddress = new Uri(Request

I am trying to use the functionality provided by "async" & "await" to asynchronously download webpage content and I have into issues where the Tasks are waiting forever to complete. Could you please let me know what is wrong with the following code snippet? protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { var websites = new string[] {"http://www.cnn.com","http://www.foxnews.com"}; var tasks = websites.Select(GenerateSomeContent).ToList(); //I don't want to use 'await Tasks.WhenAll(tasks)' as I need to block the //page load until the all the webpage contents are downloaded Task.WhenAll

I want to use the HttpClientFactory that is available in .NET Core 2.1 but I also want to use the HttpClientHandler to utilize the AutomaticDecompression property when creating HttpClients . I am struggling because the .AddHttpMessageHandler<> takes a DelegatingHandler not a HttpClientHandler . Does anyone know how to get this to work? Thanks, Jim Actually I'm not using automatic decompression but the way to achieve this is to properly register http client services.AddHttpClient<MyCustomHttpClient>() .ConfigureHttpMessageHandlerBuilder((c) => new HttpClientHandler() { AutomaticDecompression =

I'm working on an integration with Alternative Payments using their hosted page integration . Their C# SDK does not have this integration available at the moment, but as you can see it's pretty simple and I made a small class to send the post request and get the JSON response. I tested the json object I'm sending on PostMan and cURL and both work, also the authentication header, so I think they are not the problem. Here is the constructor of my class: public AlternativePaymentsCli(string apiSecretKey) { this._apiSecretKey = apiSecretKey; _httpClient = new HttpClient(); _httpClient
