Awaitable async requests

[Piedone]

Unless I'm missing something the async versions are not awaitable but all use the callback method. With .NET 4.5 awaitable support would be very nice not to have to write callbacks (simply put async versions returning Tasks would work well).

We just added that in 104.2.0-beta. It's in NuGet, but you have to allow pre-release.

Great, thanks!

Hmm, actually shouldn't there be some methods (even extensions) returning Task<IRestResponse<T>> just like with their synchronous counterparts?

[haacked]

Could you be specific about what is missing?

[Piedone]

Sorry just noticed the brackets were swallowed by markdown. Corrected the comment. So what I'm missing is the IRestResponse<T>-wrapped counterparts of those methods.

[haacked]

@Piedone Ah! Yes, we have Task<T> and Task<IRestResponse> but no Task<IRestResponse<T>>

In fact, I think Task<T> version should simply wrap the Task<IRestResponse<T>> versions.

Would you like to take a crack at it and submit a pull request?

[Piedone]

I could take a look!

@Piedone is this something you think you'll get to soon? I'm about to cut another release and wondered if I should wait a bit. 😄

[Piedone]

I don't think I'll do this soon. I've take a look but I see that the code in question is in a preprocessor directive, meaning that it's harder to edit (at least for me).

If you close it and make sure to open the file from the .NET 4 project it shouldbe fine. If you can't get to it soon, I might look into it. Or I might just ship it and wait. We'll see. :)
