xamarin.forms httpclient change BaseAddress multiple times runtime

I have updated my Xamarin.Forms to latest Version (4.5.0.530). After that I cannot change the BaseAddress of my httpclient. I have the following Code:

private static HttpClient client = new HttpClient(new NativeMessageHandler());
client = new HttpClient(new NativeMessageHandler());
client.BaseAddress = new Uri(App.hostserveradress);
client.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5);

Later, after I called the Webservice with:

responseReset = await client.PostAsync("GetResetFotos", contentReset);

I want to change the BaseAddress to another:

client.BaseAddress = new Uri(App.serveradress);

But when I set thew new BaseAddress I get following error:

This instance has already started one or more requests. Properties can only be modified before sending the first request.

Before the updating Xamarin.Forms everything works perfect, now I get the named error.

What can I do?

Thanks.

Solution

  • You don't NEED to set a base address. If you simply use full URLs, you can make requests to as many sites as you want.

    This solved my problem thanks @PaulVrugt
