BaseUrl is now manditory

In previous versions of RestSharp, I could call the following:

var client = new RestClient();
var request = new RestRequest("https://server.com/api/file.json", Method.Post);
client.PostAsync(request, (response, handle) => { ... });

However, this now causes an ArgumentNullException at RestSharp\RestClient.cs line 258.

Is this an expected breaking change?

It seems there are no way to request an endpoint just by a full URL, though RestClient has empty contrustor, but any requests afterwards with absolute uris don’t work. You must split your URL into partials.

var uri = new Uri(absoluteUrl);
var origin = uri.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority);
var client = new RestSharp.RestClient(origin);
var req = new RestSharp.RestRequest(uri.PathAndQuery);

var data = client.DownloadData(req);	

Really unfriendly api.

Yes. The latest version converted the BaseUrl from a string to a URI and by doing so made it required to be set on the RestClient.
