It seems like you are inspecting the task there, this doesnt give that much information. You can try this little more structured approach.

using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
{
            httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:10300");
            var request = "/RestServiceImpl.svc/json";

            var result = await httpClient.GetAsync(request);

            if (!result.IsSuccessStatusCode)
                throw new HttpRequestException($"{result.StatusCode} \n {result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result} \n\n {httpClient.BaseAddress}{request}");

            var json = await result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

            Debug.WriteLine(json);
}
