name: An HTTP request fails when made through this client. about: You are attempting to make a GET or POST and getting an unexpected exception or status code.

This is not the repository you want to file issues in!

Note that a failing HTTP connection is almost certainly not caused by a bug in package:http.

This package is a wrapper around the HttpClient from dart:io and HttpRequest from dart:html. Before filing a bug here verify that the issue is not surfaced when using those interfaces directly.

https://api.dart.dev/stable/dart-io/HttpClient-class.html https://api.dart.dev/stable/dart-html/HttpRequest-class.html

Common problems:

A security policy prevents the connection.
Running in an emulator that does not have outside internet access.
Using Android and not requesting internet access in the manifest. https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/29688

None of these problems are influenced by the code in this repo.

Diagnosing:

Attempt the request outside of Dart, for instance in a browser or with curl.
Attempt the request with the dart:io or dart:html equivalent code paths.
