For some reason when I debug or broadcast to my android phone the SendHTTPRequest() function always returns and empty string. It works as expected if I run it normally. Can anyone else confirm this behaviour?

It's always best if you provide code that demonstrates your problem.

That code isn't functional, as the program will end before getting a connection.

Perhaps by posting some actual runnable code, someone may provide assistance?

When you say run it normally, do you mean from your machine by pressing f5, or as an APK installed on your android device, as when you broadcast to an android phone, you're asking the android device to connect to localhost (which doesn't exist on a phone) and access a web page (that doesn't exist on your phone) via a web server (that doesn't exist on that phone.)

If you want to use your phone to connect to Service.aspx on your desktop machine which is actually hosting the web page, change Localhost to the machines IP address.

When I say run normally, I mean running it (F5) rather than debug.

As I said in my first post, it doesn't work in debug or when broadcast to Android. When on Android I use an Internet web domain.

I was hoping someone could test the function in debug mode and confirm the behaviour.

Thanks Paul.

I suspect there may be some strangeness going on with my firewall.
