ASP.NET Core 2.1 Compatibility Issues with Azure Web Services

[boydpatterson]

When running locally, everything worked great. When I deployed to Azure as ASP.NET Core 2.1 application, I would receive:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Private.ServiceModel, Version=4.1.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. The system cannot find the file specified.
File name: 'System.Private.ServiceModel, Version=4.1.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'

This issue describes the problem: dotnet/wcf#2349

The System.ServiceModel.Http 4.4.0 dependency of SoapCore has a dependency on System.Private.ServiceModel 4.4.0, and that NuGet package does not support the Azure win-x86 or win-x64 runtimes. The result is that the DLL would not be included by Azure when publishing your app.

By updating to System.ServiceModel.Http 4.5.0, this also updates to System.Private.ServiceModel 4.5.0 where the runtime has been changed to "win" (which supports win-x86 and win-x64 runtimes).

Thanks for contributing! Package on nuget will be republished as soon a possible.
