Sending Http requests from Xamarin Portable Class Library

Question

I have quite decent problems with this very simple task and asking for help. The question is: what is the best and the most reliable way to perform Http requests with timeout fr

Answer 1

I recommend using the HttpClient package via NuGet http://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Net.Http/

This works with profile 78 and MvvmCross. You also get async/await support.

Answer 2

What about HttpClient, I've extended Profile 7, so it now supports WP7/8, iOS, Android and WinStore and it works great, no problem yes and I've already complete a couple of projects with it.
