I would simply like to post some json to an api from a background task in my UWP app and get back the response to read it out. My background task is constantly failing with
Platform::DisconnectedException ^ at memory location 0x077FEE74.
I tried many ways to get it work with things from the internet but only slightly adjusting the failure. Without the code I can execute the background task perfectly.
Here the code:
public async void Run(IBackgroundTaskInstance taskInstance)
{
_deferral = taskInstance.GetDeferral();
HttpClient aClient = new HttpClient();
aClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
aClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("text/javascript"));
Uri theUri = new Uri("https://m.xxxx.com/api/v4/session?expand=account,profile)");
StringContent theContent = new StringContent("{ \"keep_login\": true, \"id\": null, \"username\": \"zumbauser\", \"password\": \"zumbapw\" }", Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
HttpResponseMessage aResponse = await aClient.PostAsync(theUri, theContent);
if (aResponse.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
Debug.WriteLine("This is outpuuuuuuuuuuuuuut: " + aResponse.ToString());
}
else
{
// show the response status code
String failureMsg = "HTTP Status: " + aResponse.StatusCode.ToString() + " – Reason: " + aResponse.ReasonPhrase;
}
_deferral.Complete();
}
The Json I am trying to imitate looks something like this:
{"keep_login":null,"id":null,"username":"zumbauser","password":"zumbapw"}
Any help is appreciated!
