2.2.13 (Microsoft.Net.Http)

• Announcement

2.2.10-RC (Microsoft.Net.Http)

• Announcement
• Disabled write stream buffering on Windows Phone 8 when AllowAutoRedirect is set to false, which reduces memory usage.

• Announcement
• Added support for automatic decompression

2.1.10 RTM (Microsoft.Net.Http)

• Announcement
• Minor branding changes

2.1.6 RC (Microsoft.Net.Http)

• Announcement
• When consuming a portable class library depending on HttpClient from a Windows Store application, the app can crash with a MissingMethodException. We’ve fixed it by using the same technique we explained in our blog post about Microsoft.Bcl.Async: we ensure during the build that the application has a reference to the NuGet package.
• Installing HttpClient NuGet package into an application can corrupt existing binding redirects in the app.config file
• The encoding ISO-8859-1 isn’t supported on Silverlight-based platforms
• When using HttpClient in Silverlight over the browser networking stack aborting the HTTP connection can result in a NullReferenceException
• Header values containing commas get incorrectly split into multiple headers.
• HttpClientHandler.AllowAutoRedirect can’t be set on Windows Phone 8 although it should be supported.
• HttpWebRequest.AllowReadStreamBuffering defaults to true on Windows Phone which prevents practical use of HttpClient with chunked responses, such as streaming live data.

2.1.3 Beta (Microsoft.Net.Http)

• Announcement
• First release of the portable version of HttpClient

Troubleshooting

Issue 1

Fixed.

Issue 2

Fixed.

Issue 3

Symptom

When using HttpClient from a Silverlight application many http headers are not supported and will result in an ArgumentException or NotImplementedException when set and calling HttpClient methods that send a request.

Resolution

For a list of headers which are not supported in Silverlight please see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.webheadercollection(v=vs.95).aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.httpwebrequest.headers(v=vs.95).aspx

Issue 4

Symptom

When HttpClientHandler.SupportsProtocolVersion() is false the HttpResponseMessage returned from a request will have a null value for Version.

Resolution

Make sure that anytime you are using a version from the HttpResponseMessage, you do a null check on it if SupportsProtocolVersion() is false.

Issue 5

Fixed.

Issue 6

Symptom

When using HttpClient on Silverlight or the Phone be aware that the networking stack may cache responses.

Resolution

To avoid inconsistencies when creating portable class library that runs on both platforms be sure that your server sets the cache control-header on the response to match your expected caching behavior on the Phone. If you do not control the server, consider making a portion of the request unique if you do not want a cached result.

Issue 7

Fixed.

Issue 8

Symptom

ClickOnce applications targeting .NET Framework 4.0 that reference the Microsoft.Net.Http package may experience a TypeLoadException or other errors after being installed.

Resolution

This occurs because ClickOnce fails to deploy certain required assemblies. As a workaround, do the following:

1. Right-click on the project and choose Add Existing Item
2. Browse to the net40 in the HttpClient package folder
3. In the File name text box enter .
4. Holding CTRL, select System.Net.Http.dll and System.Net.Http.Primitives.dll
5. Click the down-arrow next to the Add button and choose Add as Link
6. In Solution Explorer, holding CTRL select System.Net.Http.dll and System.Net.Http.WebRequest.dll
7. Right-click the selection, choose Properties and change Copy to Output Directory to Copy always
8. Republish
