public System.Threading.Tasks.Task<string> GetStringAsync (string? requestUri);
member this.GetStringAsync : string -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task<string>
Public Function GetStringAsync (requestUri As String) As Task(Of String)

Parameters

requestUri
String

The Uri the request is sent to.

Returns

The task object representing the asynchronous operation.

Exceptions

The requestUri must be an absolute URI or BaseAddress must be set.

The request failed due to an underlying issue such as network connectivity, DNS failure, server certificate validation (or timeout for .NET Framework only).

.NET Core and .NET 5 and later only: The request failed due to timeout.

The provided request URI is not valid relative or absolute URI.

Remarks

This operation will not block. The returned Task<TResult> object will complete after the whole response body is read.

Note

In case of a timeout:
