C# HttpClient PUT

Question

For some reason my below code that used to work now consequently raises an exception:

public static async Task<string> HttpPut(string inUrl, string inFilePath)
    {
        using (var handler = new HttpClientHandler
        {
            AllowAutoRedirect = false
        })
        {
            using (var client = new HttpClient(handler))
            {
                //var content = new StreamContent(new FileStream(inFilePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read, bufferSize: 4096, useAsync: true));
                using (var content = new StreamContent(new FileStream(inFilePath, FileMode.Open)))
                {
                    content.Headers.Remove("Content-Type");
                    content.Headers.Add("Content-Type", "application/octet-stream");

                    using (var req = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Put, inUrl))
                    {
                        string authInfo = String.Format("{0}:{1}", Program.Config.MediaStorageList.Find(o => o.Name == "Viz Media Engine Test").UserName, Program.Config.MediaStorageList.Find(o => o.Name == "Viz Media Engine Test").Password);
                        authInfo = Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(authInfo));
                        req.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + authInfo);
                        req.Headers.Remove("Expect");
                        req.Headers.Add("Expect", "");
                        //req.Headers.TransferEncodingChunked = true;

                        req.Content = content;

                        // Ignore Certificate validation failures (aka untrusted certificate + certificate chains)
                        ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = ((sender, certificate, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true);

                        using (HttpResponseMessage resp = await client.SendAsync(req))
                        {
                            //This part is specific to the setup on an Expo we're at...
                            if (resp.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.Redirect || resp.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.TemporaryRedirect)
                            {
                                string redirectUrl = resp.Headers.Location.ToString();

                                if (redirectUrl.Contains("vme-store"))
                                {
                                    redirectUrl = redirectUrl.Replace("vme-store", "10.230.0.11");
                                }
                                return await HttpPut(redirectUrl, inFilePath);
                            }

                            resp.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();

                            return await resp.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

The exception I'm getting is:

InnerException: 

I'm having a very hard time finding proper documentation and examples for HttpClient, and I'm struggling with figuring out why this suddenly doesn't work (a totally similar method with StringContent instead of StreamContent works perfectly)...

It originally gets called from it's own thread, and then like this:

public static async void VmeUploadMedia(string inUploadLink, string inFilePath)
{
    string result = await HttpConnector.HttpPut(inUploadLink, inFilePath);
}

Anyone spot anything obvious?

Thanks

UPDATE

Turns out getting the expo-guys to map their storage-name with it's IP so I could go back to my original code was the best solution. The problem I was having is something to do with AllowAutoRedirect = false. The exception occured on HttpResponseMessage resp = await client.SendAsync(req), even if there was no redirection really going on. I'm kind of lost as to why it was even happening, but using this code everything is working now:

public static async Task<string> HttpPut(string inUrl, string inFilePath)
    {
        using (var client = new HttpClient())
        {
            using (var content = new StreamContent(File.OpenRead(inFilePath)))
            {
                content.Headers.Remove("Content-Type");
                content.Headers.Add("Content-Type", "application/octet-stream");

                using (var req = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Put, inUrl))
                {
                    string authInfo = String.Format("{0}:{1}", Program.Config.MediaStorageList.Find(o => o.Name == "Viz Media Engine Test").UserName, Program.Config.MediaStorageList.Find(o => o.Name == "Viz Media Engine Test").Password);
                    authInfo = Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(authInfo));
                    req.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + authInfo);
                    req.Headers.Remove("Expect");
                    req.Headers.Add("Expect", "");

                    req.Content = content;

                    // Ignore Certificate validation failures (aka untrusted certificate + certificate chains)
                    ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = ((sender, certificate, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true);

                    using (HttpResponseMessage resp = await client.SendAsync(req))
                    {
                        resp.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();

                        return await resp.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
