I've tried many different approaches for the past couple of hours, but my method call is hanging up the thread.
Here is my Web API code, which works fine when making AJAX call from the MVC client, but I'm trying to test calling from the server:
// GET api/values
[HttpGet]
public IEnumerable<string> Get()
{
return new string[] { "value1", "value2" };
}
Below is my MVC controller code and model code:
public async Task<ActionResult> TestApi()
{
try
{
var result = await VoipModels.GetValues();
return MVCUtils.JsonContent(result);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return MVCUtils.HandleError(ex);
}
}
...
public static async Task<string[]> GetValues()
{
string[] result = null;
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://localhost:44305/api/");
//THIS IS THE LINE THAT HANGS UP - I'VE TRIED MANY VARIATIONS
var response = await client.GetAsync("values", HttpCompletionOption.ResponseHeadersRead).ConfigureAwait(false);
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
result = await response.Content.ReadAsAsync<string[]>();
}
else
{
throw new Exception(response.ReasonPhrase);
}
}
return result;
}
I've used this format successfully when calling a separate, 3rd party API. I've run out of examples to try from my couple of hours of Googling.
What am I doing wrong here?
"http://localhost:44305/api/"
which may likely be incorrect, you should convert that to grab it from the host configuration instead. As a special note, there are very rare cases / exception cases that you would want to have a web API server call itself. Doing so, is rather inefficient design as it will consume resources for no gain (such a generating request and response).
