I have simple get request using HttpClient:

response = await httpClient.GetAsync(uri);

And in response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync() I have strange signs, while in Fiddler I can see normaly json:

"�\b\0\0\0\0\0\0}�AO�0\f��K�Z�M�vC0!��:���%�Ȕ&i�T�i��p��,?����$�K����s��.��ӡ�H$\tY��L��P֠#��\0�

Have you looked at the traffic in Wireshark? My guess is that you're getting compressed data and `HttpClient` isn't decompressing it. – Jon Skeet Sep 26 '14 at 12:44
What is the `Content-Type` inside the header? – Yuval Itzchakov Sep 26 '14 at 12:46
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 in header, but content of response is StreamContent – Robert Sep 26 '14 at 12:52
In Fiddler I can see json – Robert Sep 26 '14 at 12:52
Ok, now it works, I add new HttpClient( new HttpClientHandler { AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip | DecompressionMethods.Deflate }); and it works – Robert Sep 26 '14 at 15:12
