Where is HttpContent.ReadAsAsync?

Question

I see in tons of examples on the web using the new HttpClient object (as part of the new Web API) that there should be HttpContent.ReadAsAsync

Answer 1

You can write extention method:

public static async Task ReadAsAsync(this System.Net.Http.HttpContent content) {
    return Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(await content.ReadAsStringAsync());
}
