Android implementation of HTTPClient throwing up java.io.IOException

[UnreachableCode]

I believe this relates to the bug detailed in Xamarin's old Bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=41100

and is also similar to the issue discussed here:
square/okhttp#1517

Here is the main stacktrace of my issue:

LoginProvider+d__1.MoveNext () C:\source\repos{MyApp}{MyApp}{MyApp}\Services\LoginProvider.cs:35
java.io.IOException: unexpected end of stream on Connection{testclarity.i-menzies.com:443, proxy=DIRECT@ hostAddress=62.244.173.166 cipherSuite=TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 protocol=http/1.1} (recycle count=0)

I have tried setting the connection closed header and setting chunked transfer encoding but neither of these fixes work. I would try to set the OkHTTP.setRetryOnConnectionFailure(true) but I don't think there is a way to do this in the referenced Java source.

@marek-safar is bugzilla still the right location for filing Xamarin bugs?

No, use https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-android/ for new issues

Since your issue is implementation specific, I've moved it to dotnet/android#2651
