HttpClientTest

_httpClient.GetAsync("http://localhost:15316/Glimpse/Agent")
    .ContinueWith(requestTask =>
        {
            // Get HTTP response from completed task.
            HttpResponseMessage response = requestTask.Result;

            // Check that response was successful or throw exception
            response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();

            // Read response asynchronously as JsonValue and write out top facts for each country
            response.Content.ReadAsAsync<string>().ContinueWith(readTask =>
                {
                    var result = readTask.Result;
                });
        });

The above errors with the following on line 5:

Unable to connect to the remote server

What is the typical way of handling this type of exception?

For connection failures, disconnects, timeouts and cancellations you have to do a try/catch around the GetAsync method.

Great, thanks mate!
