Xamarin.Android.Net.AndroidMessageHandlerreported transport/protocol failures as the legacySystem.Net.WebException, contradicting the documentedHttpClient.SendAsynccontract (which throwsHttpRequestException).Changes
AndroidMessageHandler: allWebExceptionthrow sites in the request path (timeout, protocol, security, IO, connect, max‑redirections, invalid redirect URI, protocol‑method setup) now throwHttpRequestException.WebException— including itsWebExceptionStatus— is kept as theInnerException, so code migrated from classic Xamarin.Android that inspects status (and existing test helpers that walk the inner chain) keeps working. Centralized in one helper:HttpRequestException; exceedingMaxAutomaticRedirectionsassertsHttpRequestExceptionwith the preserved innerWebException.Notes
WebExceptionat the top level will no longer match — this is the intended behavioral change. TheWebExceptionremains reachable viaex.InnerException.
