Failure to resolve System.Net.Http when targeting the full framework

[rocco337]

Hi,

I have test project that is testing api inside aps.net core project. For testing server I am using TestHost. Tests are failing with error that HTTP client dll cannot be loaded:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Net.Http, Version=4.1.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I don't have anywhere explicit dependency on HttpClient. While googling for solution I found same problem, just with different package: aspnet/Security#1046

Has anyone else experienced issue like this?

Are you targeting .NET 4.6?

Looks the same as #926, if not feel free to open this again.
