Win8 Metro
« on: July 20, 2013, 10:15:56 pm »

Hi

Can anyone show me how to connect to the library server using the HttpClient used by a Metro app.


This works:
String rawXml = await GetData(@"http://webplay.jriver.com/libraryserver/lookup?id=xxxxxx");

Anything calling the server on the local network fails
String  rawXml = await GetData(@"http://10.0.0.4:52199/MCWS/v1/Alive");

public async Task<String> GetData(string url)
        {
            HttpClient http = new HttpClient();
           
            try
            {
                String SourceStream = await http.GetStringAsync(new Uri(url));

                return SourceStream;
            }
            catch(Exception ex)
            {
                Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message);
            }

            return null;
        }

Thanks

Here are instructions for connecting:

For the call failures, maybe a firewall is blocking local network stuff?  Make sure it works in a web browser first.
