Usage

The good news is, you don't have to know either of these two libraries above, using ModernHttpClient is the most boring thing in the world. Here's how it works:

var httpClient = new HttpClient(new NativeMessageHandler());

How can I use this in a PCL?

Just reference the Portable version of ModernHttpClient in your Portable Library, and it will use the correct version on all platforms.
