Description

Hi,

I want to stream a file from HTTP or HTTPs but I don't know how to set these options:

  1. (Solved) - Problem was blank spaces in URL.
  2. Ignore Certificate Warning or Errors on HTTPS Connections (if possible).

I tried to use Windows.Web.Http.HttpClient but that won't work very well.
