Silly question, but i am wondering if switching from HttpClient to RestSharp to execute API calls in my xamarin forms app would/could be beneficial in terms of stability, reliability and or speed.
I am getting lots of httpclient/network related errors from my users and they all happen during a GET/POST/PUT call....
====================
- System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException or System.Net.WebException: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1003 "A server with the specified hostname could not be found." [my comment: the endpoint is live and working fine]
- NativeMessageHandler.SendAsync or NSUrlSessionHandler.SendAsync (System.Net.Http.HttpRequestMessage request, System.Threading.CancellationToken cancellationToken) / System.Threading.Tasks.TaskCanceledException: A task was canceled.
- System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException or System.Net.WebException: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1005 "The network connection was lost."
- System.Net.WebException: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1004 "Could not connect to the server."
- System.ObjectDisposedException: Cannot access a closed Stream

Turning to RestSharp won't help as it does the same HTTP operations and can trigger the same kind of errors if your network settings are incorrect. For example, "A server with the specified hostname could not be found" is usually caused by DNS misconfiguration, and without fixing that RestSharp should give you a similar error.

I do this before every call..and still get many of these errors. -
