.NetStandart Load with proxy problem

[cacheoff]

In a Task.Run statement when we use HtmlWeb.Load() with IWebProxy and ICredentials parameters Task.Run statement never hits.

Hello @cacheoff ,

A new version has been released v1.5.2-beta4,

We removed some code that was calling await for nothing and make sure to add ConfigureAwait(false) everywhere.

Let me know if we fixed deadlock caused by the library.

Best Regards,

Hello Jonathan, After hours of testing, i have noticed that the bug is not about your code. "Task.Run" statement never hits even when it includes only a line such as "var m = new HttpMethod("GET")". Therefore this is not a deadlock. I think this is a bug of System.Net.Http library in .NETStandart framework.

Which version of .NET Standard are you using?

I don't remember the link, but I have heard of such issue in .NET Standard 1.3

I was using .NetStandard 1.5. But because of that issue I converted my project to .NetFramework 4.6. Now i have no problem anymore. Everything works properly.

Yup, that's why I released a version for .NET Standard 1.6

When I have asked to MysticMind (https://github.com/mysticmind/mysticmind-htmlagilitypack) which is the one that made almost all the code to support .NET Standard, he answering me this:

When I tried with NetStandard 1.3, it resulted in several errors pertaining to System.Net.Http and others. Then I read some material online and found out that NetStandard 1.6 has better support covering more surface area of libraries, it which readily worked with few tweaks/changes.

I still released a version for 1.3 since some people wanted to only use it without loading the HTML directly from the web.

I will close this issue then since you moved back to .NET Framework 4.6 and anyway, I don't think there is something I can really do.

Jonathan
