.Net 4.0 HttpClient usage?
.net, api, dotnet-httpclient
Solution
As per MSDN HttpClient is supported only in .NET Framework 4.5. Nevertheless there is an implementation of HttpClient for .NET 4.0. You can download it here:
HttpClient for .NET 4.0
MSDN: HttpClient
Still there are some differences in implementations. For example in version for .NET 4.0 there is no constructor w/ 2 parameters. Please see the source code for more information:
HttpClient for .NET 4.0 source code
Regarding your example:
- There is no constructor w/ 2 params in impl. for .NET 4.0
- There is no Get method w/ 2 params in impl. for .NET 4.0
- There is no TransportSettings property in impl. for .NET 4.0
Problem
im in .Net 4.0 and attempting to use the HttpClient. I read some articles saying that it was no longer supported in 4.0 but that you could still use it? i've included the `System.Net.Http;` assembly but it's not allowing me to provide the necessary params to the `HttpClient`. Any idea how I could fix this? I've bolded where the errors are occuring. ``` using (HttpClient http = new **HttpClient("{0}/v1/dm/labels/{1}.xml", MI_API_URL**)) { http.**TransportSettings**.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(apiusername, apipassword); List<KeyValuePair<string, string>> parms = new List<KeyValuePair<string, string>>(); parms.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, string>("Status", "Wiped")); HttpResponseMessage response = http.**Get**(new Uri("devices.xml", UriKind.Relative), parms); response.EnsureStatusIsSuccessful(); responseoutput = response.Content.ReadAsString(); xdoc.LoadXml(responseoutput); ```
