I'm teaching myself Blazor and have run into this conundrum, where I get this error:
{"No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it."}
The uri I call is this one:
api/employee
However, when use the full uri, such as this:
https://localhost:44376/api/employee
I get no errors at all.
Even though this is just a practice project, I'd still prefer to use a relative uri without a port number, but am not sure how to make it work.
Here's the method where I am making these calls:
public async Task<IEnumerable<Employee>> GetAllEmployees()
{
bool isEmployeeListEmpty = true; ;
IEnumerable<Employee> employeeList = null;
try
{
//string uriEmployeeList = $"https://localhost:44376/api/employee";
string uriEmployeeList = $"api/employee";
var employees = await JsonSerializer.DeserializeAsync<IEnumerable<Employee>>
(await _httpClient.GetStreamAsync(uriEmployeeList), new JsonSerializerOptions() { PropertyNameCaseInsensitive = true });
if (employees != null)
{
isEmployeeListEmpty = false;
employeeList = await JsonSerializer.DeserializeAsync<IEnumerable<Employee>>
(await _httpClient.GetStreamAsync(uriEmployeeList), new JsonSerializerOptions() { PropertyNameCaseInsensitive = true });
}
else
{
isEmployeeListEmpty = true;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("An exception occurred inside the GetAllEmployees() method of the EmployeeDataService class");
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
if (!isEmployeeListEmpty)
return employeeList;
else
return null;
}
I am doing this all on one machine with IIS Express.
UPDATE
Thank you all for your help and suggestions. It turned out that I had the ssl port defined as 44376 in the lauchSettings.json, while I had the base addresses in Startup.cs file set as https://localhost:44340/ for all three HttpClient objects I use. I changed the port in each of the base addresses to 44376 to match the 44376 port I have set up in the launchSettings.json file, and everything now works with the relative/abbreviated uri strings.
