I have set up Flurl to run within my Xamarin PCL, and I'm calling off to a Web Api I have running in an MVC application.
It seems Flurl can hit my deployed API no problem, but I'm unable to test changes locally for some reason.
Here's what I'm doing:
var data = await "http://localhost:60257/api/gigapi".GetJsonAsync<List<Gig>>();
I've tried a simple GetAsync() too but again, no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT:
Just for a bit more info, the project is a redevelopment of an Ionic mobile app. I've run the ionic app locally and that's able to hit my local web api with no issues, so it's not a firewall issue or anything like that - It's probably something I'm doing wrong in Flurl.
EDIT2:
Here's the Exception:
e.Message "Request to http://localhost:60257/api/gigapi failed. Error: ConnectFailure (Connection refused)" string
And the stacktrace:
