A windows phone 8.1 app is running fine on windows 10 mobile except when it tries to do a http call in a background timed task. The background task is using common code which works fine when the app is active, so the code works, and the requested url also works fine when the app is active. The http client used is Windows.Web.Http.HttpClient.
I suspect there could be a missing declaration required for windows 10 mobile.
