HttpClient with BaseAddress
.net, c#, dotnet-httpclient, wcf, webhttpbinding
Solution
In the `BaseAddress`, just include the final slash: `https://localhost:44302/AndonService.svc/`. If you don't, the final part of the path is discarded, because it's not considered to be a "directory".
This sample code illustrates the difference:
// No final slash
var baseUri = new Uri("https://localhost:44302/AndonService.svc");
var uri = new Uri(baseUri, "Layouts/1100-00277");
Console.WriteLine(uri);
// Prints "https://localhost:44302/Layouts/1100-00277"
// With final slash
var baseUri = new Uri("https://localhost:44302/AndonService.svc/");
var uri = new Uri(baseUri, "Layouts/1100-00277");
Console.WriteLine(uri);
// Prints "https://localhost:44302/AndonService.svc/Layouts/1100-00277"
Problem
I have a problem calling a webHttpBinding WCF end point using HttpClient and the BaseAddress property. HttpClient I created a HttpClient instance specifying the BaseAddress property as a local host endpoint. GetAsync Call I then call the GetAsync method passing in the additional Uri inforamtion. ``` HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(string.Format("/Layouts/{0}", machineInformation.LocalMachineName())); ``` Service endpoint ``` [OperationContract] [WebGet(UriTemplate = "/Layouts/{machineAssetName}", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)] List<LayoutsDto> GetLayouts(string machineAssetName); ``` Problem The problem I am having is that the is that `/AndonService.svc` part of the BaseAddress is being truncated so the resultant call goes to `https://localhost:44302/Layouts/1100-00277` rather that `https://localhost:44302/AndonService.svc/Layouts/1100-00277` resulting in a 404 Not Found. Is there a reason the BaseAddress is being truncated in the GetAsync call? How do I get around this?
