HttpRequestException when trying PutAsync

Question

I'm working on a Windows 10 Universal app and I keep getting a "The HTTP redirect request must be confirmed by the user" error when I try to do the following:

HttpClient http = new HttpClient();
HttpResponseMessage response = new HttpResponseMessage();
response = await http.PutAsync(url, new StringContent(temp));

Any ideas on how to handle that?

Answer 1

I managed to find a workaround to the problem by setting AllowAutoRedirect to false and then making a call to the redirect manually.

        HttpClientHandler clientHandler = new HttpClientHandler();
        clientHandler.AllowAutoRedirect = false;

        HttpClient http = new HttpClient(clientHandler);
        HttpResponseMessage response = new HttpResponseMessage();
        response = await http.PutAsync(url, new StringContent(temp));

        url = response.Headers.Location;
        response = await http.PutAsync(url, new StringContent(temp));
