iOS HttpRequest runs until timeout

[vovinh]

_client.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(160);
  var request = new HttpRequestMessage()
            {
                RequestUri = requestUri,
                Method = HttpMethod.Get,
            };

  var response = await _client.SendAsync(request, ct).ConfigureAwait(false);
  response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode(); var rawdata = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);

During the request, I disconnect Wifi connection. In Android, an exception is thrown and I don't have to wait for the timeout to expire. However, in iOS, the connection keeps going on until timeout expires which is incorrect behavior.

Why is it you can't use Xamarin's Android handler?

Any update here ?

@Cheesebaron : you can't use the Android Handler on iOS :)

[Cheesebaron]

@jonathanantoine then use the NSUrl one Xamarin provides?
