使用httpclient异步调用WebAPI接口

最近的工作需要使用Bot Framework调用原有的WebAPI查询数据，查找了一些方法，大部分都是使用HttpClient调用的，现时贴出代码供参考

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Web;
using System.Text;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System.Net;

namespace esquel_LPD_Bot.LPDService
{
    public class GarmentStyleHelper
    {
        public async Task<string> GarmentStyleSearch(string pi_GarmentStyleNo)
        {
            string l_returnValue = string.Empty;
            string l_APIUrl = Common.ConfigHelper.GetConfigValue("LPD-GarmentStyleSearchAPIUrl");
            Common.LPDAuthHelper LPDAuthClass = new Common.LPDAuthHelper();

            try
            {
                if(string.IsNullOrEmpty( LPDAuthClass.UserName)|| string.IsNullOrEmpty(LPDAuthClass.UserName))
                {
                    throw new Exception("LPD Project Auth User Name Or Password Is Empty .");
                }

                if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(l_APIUrl) && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(pi_GarmentStyleNo))
                {
                    var request = new Model.SelectionFilter()
                    {
                        FilterType = Model.SelectionFilter.FilterTypeLeaf,
                        Filters = new Model.SelectionFilter[] { },
                        AttributeName = "item_number",
                        FilterValue = pi_GarmentStyleNo
                    };
                    //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                    var handler = new HttpClientHandler()
                    {
                        AutomaticDecompression = System.Net.DecompressionMethods.GZip
                    };
                    //handler.UseDefaultCredentials = true;//use default network利用的用户本机的网络，但因为需要布署到服务器，所以使用以下这一句
                    handler.Credentials=new NetworkCredential(LPDAuthClass.UserName, LPDAuthClass.PassWord);//设定权限，这一句比较痛苦，找了很久

                    using (var client = new HttpClient(handler))
                    {
                        client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new System.Net.Http.Headers.MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));                       

                        var response = await client.PostAsync(l_APIUrl, new StringContent(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(request).ToString(), Encoding.UTF8, "application/json"));
                        response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
                        string l_getreturn = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

                        l_returnValue = l_getreturn;
                    }
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {

            }

            return l_returnValue;
        }
    }
}
