Use .NET's own httpClient class on Unity

Question

I\'m trying to do a HTTP Delete request from Unity and bump into the idea of use the HttpRequest class included in the System.Web namespace of .Net

How can I achieve

Answer 1

In the current versions of Unity httpClient is supported out of the box even on .NET Standard 2.0 targets. Here is sample code on how I use it to access a REST api.

public static async Task GetResource()
    {
        using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
        {
            httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri(URL);
            httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
            httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
            var response = await httpClient.GetAsync("api/session");
            if (response.StatusCode != HttpStatusCode.OK)
                return null;
            var resourceJson = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
            return JsonUtility.FromJson(resourceJson);
        }
    }
