无法通过HttpClient连接到UWP中的127.0.0.1（localhost）设备门户（仅限Windows 10 Mobile RS1）

Question

I want to make apps to implement REST API's in Device Portal into my apps. But, I can't connect to 127.0.0.1 with HttpClient and another API's smiliar like that even in System.Net and Windows.Web.Http , always got exception "connection with the server could not be established" .

But, It's ONLY happen in RS1 build (104393) . In TH2 build (10568) anything work like charm.

Here's my code:

when i use Windows.Web.Http

private async void dvInfo_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();
                httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.TryParseAdd("*/*");
                string ResponseString = await httpClient.GetStringAsync(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1/api/os/machinename")); //got exception here, ResponseString null
                txtStatus.Text = ResponseString.ToString();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                var msg = new MessageDialog(ex, "Sorry, we got some error"); //...
            }
        }

I'm also try use System.Net , same got exception

private async void dvInfo_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
        Uri uri = new Uri("http://127.0.0.1/api/os/machinename");
        var httpClient = new HttpClient();
        var ResponseString = await httpClient.GetAsync(uri); //got exception here, ResponseString null
                txtStatus.Text = ResponseString.ToString();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                var msg = new MessageDialog(ex, "Sorry, we got some error"); //...
            }
        }

Answer 1

I'm assuming that this is on Mobile. If it's on desktop or another platform, ensure you're using the correct port first.

Have you tried targeting the phone from another device? eg run the same app using a your phone's IP address on your PC. It may work that way. The reason for this is loopback protection , where apps are prevented from connecting to APIs on the same device as a security precaution. You may be able to enable local loopback in your app's build options in VS, at the link posted.

[Solved] I must move to Windows.Web.Http then use https uri inside http , afterthat do pass cert/ignore that:

var filter = new HttpBaseProtocolFilter();
filter.IgnorableServerCertificateErrors.Add(ChainValidationResult.Expired);
filter.IgnorableServerCertificateErrors.Add(ChainValidationResult.Untrusted);
filter.IgnorableServerCertificateErrors.Add(ChainValidationResult.InvalidName);
var http = new HttpClient(filter);
