Remarks
Caution
WebRequest
, HttpWebRequest
, ServicePoint
, and WebClient
are obsolete, and you shouldn't use them for new development. Use HttpClient instead.
This operation will not block. The returned Task<TResult> object will complete when the Stream for writing data to the Internet resource is available.
After you call GetRequestStreamAsync, make sure you close the request stream before you call GetResponseAsync.
This method stores in the task it returns all non-usage exceptions that the method's synchronous counterpart can throw. If an exception is stored into the returned task, that exception will be thrown when the task is awaited. Usage exceptions, such as ArgumentException, are still thrown synchronously. For the stored exceptions, see the exceptions thrown by GetRequestStream().
