System.Net.Http v4.2.0.0 not loading

So.. it turns out that the incorrect dll is loaded via nuget.

As a work-around, redirect your manifest to look for 4.0.0.0 and it works.

Add this to your runtime dependency list in the config.

<dependentAssembly>

<assemblyIdentity name="System.Net.Http" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral" />

<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.2.0.0" newVersion="4.0.0.0" />

</dependentAssembly>
