RestSharp not working

[TFTomSun]

I tried to use restsharp for a simple rest request against the soundcloud rest api.

When I add the following code:

            WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy = null;
            var client = new RestClient("https://api.soundcloud.com/");
            var request = new RestRequest("tracks/13158665");
            request.AddQueryParameter("client_id", "****");

            var response = await client.ExecuteTaskAsync<string>(request);
            this.Response =  $"{response.StatusCode} {response.ErrorMessage} {response.Content}";

i get as response:

0 libc

when I execute inside a .net core test project i get:

Unauthorized

With a valid client id i get a full json response containing the track information in the .net core test. The result in blazor is always the same. Is there a list of not supported functionality? And how can I use 3rd Party API's if the build don't tell me whether they contain such not supported functionality?

Right now only HttpClient using the BrowserHttpMessageHandler works for making web requests.
RestSharp uses the legacy HttpWebRequest.

Thanks for answering, @Suchiman!

@Suchiman @SteveSandersonMS
I think there are many API's that rely on that legacy HttpWebRequest. Is there an Issue that tracks the progress on supporting it? Or is your final solution, those 3rd party API's can't simply be used, and all blazor users have to discover that again and again on their own?

[SteveSandersonMS]

I agree. And nothing in Blazor is final yet.

Having the default HttpClient work by default (not just the version that BrowserServiceProvider provides) can only be done by the Mono BCL. Not sure whether they explicitly have a work item for it.

@SteveSandersonMS yes they have mono/mono#7933
