HoloLens REST client based on HttpWebRequest

Hi developers,

what REST clients are you using at the moment in your HoloLens application(s)?

I am wondering if some of you are experiencing the same problems with a REST client on HoloLens. I'm having problems with the different .NET version in Unity (3.5) and on HoloLens (4.5), because the HttpWebRequest class is different in each framework.

In .NET 3.5 (Unity3D):

var rs = httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream();
using(var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(rs))
{ }

but get compile errors when deploying to HoloLens because on .NET 4.5 it's:

var rs = httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream**Async**().Result;
using(var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(rs))
{ }

So every time I build the Unity project I must implement GetRequestStream() and then change it to GetRequestStreamAsync() before deploying it to the HoloLens.

Any ideas how to fix this? Or am I doing something stupid?

Thanks!
