My app shares code between the Windows 8, Windows Phone and Android apps - the web part in question is using HttpClient
.
The Windows 8 and Phone apps are fine - a small amount of web related exceptions are reported (to Raygun.io) despite the user base being much higher. On Android it's a different story, there's 1000s of WebExceptions
reported, namely WebException: Error: NameResolutionFailure
which I haven't managed to reproduce.
Is this a common, transient exception or something more sinister? Is there a better, more reliable web library to use (such as https://github.com/paulcbetts/ModernHttpClient ...which unfortunately doesn't support GZIP)? Should I just ignore them?
To be clear I have never seen this sort of exception with Windows 8 or Windows Phone!
Is it related to either of these bugs?
