namespace CrowSoftware.Api

    public static class HttpRequestMessageHelper

        public static string GetClientIpAddress(this HttpRequestMessage request)

                return ((HttpContextWrapper)request.Properties["MS_HttpContext"]).Request.UserHostAddress;
            }
            else if (request.Properties.ContainsKey(RemoteEndpointMessageProperty.Name))
            {
                RemoteEndpointMessageProperty prop;
                prop = (RemoteEndpointMessageProperty)request.Properties[RemoteEndpointMessageProperty.Name];
                return prop.Address;
            }
            else
            {
                return null;
            }
        }
    }
}

UserHostName '((((HttpContextBase)request.Properties["MS_HttpContext"])).Request).UserHostName' threw an exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' string {System.ArgumentException}

UserHostName '((((HttpContextBase)request.Properties["MS_HttpContext"])).Request).UserHostName' threw an exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' string {System.ArgumentException}

I'm having same problem with Argument exception. It happens when I wrap the code in Task.Run(... )
