Abstract
During the previous two chapters we’ve learned some important basics about asynchronous programming in .NET and the HTTP protocol. This is the first chapter that makes use of both foundations by introducing the HttpClient class; this class provides a way to handle HTTP requests and responses in .NET asynchronously on the client side (a server could also be a client). Before using HttpClient itself, let’s look at some new classes being used within both the HttpClient class and the ASP.NET Web API framework.
