Missing Dependency or problem in the nuget definition?

[djcparker]

Not sure if it is something I am doing or something missing in the nuspec .

Create a console app (4.5.1 is fine or an iOS app if you prefer). Use nuget to add refit. Compile the app.

Error: The type or namespace name 'Http' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Net' (are you missing an assembly reference?) in RefitStubs.cs

This seems to happen for everything except winphone.
Note: it seems to go away if I add a reference to System.Net.Http...

Thoughts?

@djcparker System.Net.Http is a Framework reference. You can add them to the spec file, but I've been too lazy to because I have to look up for 402x platforms whether System.Net.Http is supported

@paulcbetts hmmm... I understand.. I've just had some fun behaviour with a PCL that is using refit. It causes winphone to fail with "could not load assembly version 4.0.0" - tracked it down to the PCL profile NOT including sl-winphone 8.0 so it had access to a v4.0.0 assembly.

Changing the profile to include sl-winphone 8 meant I could add the nuget version as refit does). Then the errors go away. Not clever...

Interestingly I created a new console app today and it did NOT get the error above. I'm going to compare them and see whats different.

thanks for the feedback!

Btw System.Net.Http is outdated, you should use Microsoft.Net.Http as package dependency

Yep, aware of that. It's the same namespace, the package changed and the targeting is different per profile. Thanks 😊
