What’s the “right way” to use HttpClient synchronously?

January 27, 2023 by Tarik

Try the following:

var task = Task.Run(() => myHttpClient.GetAsync(someUrl)); 
task.Wait();
var response = task.Result;

Use it only when you cannot use an async method.

This method is completely deadlock free as mentioned on the MSDN blog:
ASP.Net–Do not use Task .Result in main context.

Not Found

The requested URL was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
