I have this code:

private static readonly HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

HttpResponseMessage response = new HttpResponseMessage();



using (var requestMessage = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Get, "http://someurl.com"))

{

    requestMessage.Headers.Add("sessionId", "ABC123");

    delayresponse = client.SendAsync(requestMessage).Result;

}

I have tried a couple of other variations of this with no success. My aim is to make a GET request to an MVC controller, and then read the Content that is returned by that controller using HttpClient. The returned Content is a string. What is wrong with this code?

For access the string result, you could read from Content like:

        HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

        using (var request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Get, @"http://localhost/IISWindows/home/test"))

        {

            var response = client.SendAsync(request).Result;

            var content = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;

        }

For another way, you could try GetStringAsync

            var result = client.GetStringAsync(@"http://localhost/IISWindows/home/test").Result;
