title: Initial HttpClient Call Taking a Long Time
body: <p>I'm using HttpClient to call a remote web service over https from a C# Portable Class Library.  My initial call to the web service is taking approximately 45 seconds.  Subsequent calls take only a second or two.  I do not have similar problems on the initial call when calling the web service from JavaScript.  Is there a way to optimize HttpClient to make the initial call more quickly?</p>
