Error "IOException: The response ended prematurely" when sending an https request.

[tushinivan]

Hello! I'm trying to make an https request to https://example.com, but I get a

System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: "An error occurred while sending the request."
IOException: The response ended prematurely.

HttpClient cl = new HttpClient(new HttpClientHandler() 
            { 
                AllowAutoRedirect = false, 
                Proxy = new WebProxy("localhost:5001") 
            });
var r = await cl.GetAsync("https://example.com/");

as an instance of YARP I use the example ReverseProxy.Direct.Sample, can you please tell me if additional YARP configuration is required?

YARP is not a forward proxy that can be used in the WebProxy field. This may help explain the difference: https://www.linuxbabe.com/it-knowledge/differences-between-forward-proxy-and-reverse-proxy

You'd send the request to YARP like this:

HttpClient cl = new HttpClient();
var r = await cl.GetAsync("https://localhost:5001");

And YARP would use its configuration decide if that request should be sent to example.com or somewhere else.
