The portable Web API client library

I this short post I just would like to draw your attention to a portable Web API client library available from NuGet. You can use it in multiple project types, like console and Window Phone apps where you need to perform HTTP-related actions.

The library is available from within Visual Studio in the NuGet package manager:

From then on you can use the HttpClient object from the System.Net.Http namespace to initiate HTTP calls, e.g.:

HttpClient client = new HttpClient()
{
	BaseAddress = new Uri("http://www.myapi.com/")
};
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync("customers");
