Why:
Asp.net applications are moving toward .net core as a future standard. Moving this library to .net core would allow users to port their existing codebases to support the newer .net Standard.
What is involved:
Replacing WebClient with HttpClient
Convert Sync calls with proper Async equivalent versions
Changing Refs from ApplicationException to Exception
Adding\Changing Nuget Refs Such that the project can be used by .net core
I too would like to see this happen. This is just one of a long list of dependencies we have, but not having this would mean we'd be stuck until this was available.
