There was a race condition between the first poll and any other http request that was sent.
In particular, if you called StartAsync then StopAsync it was possible for the delete to happen before the poll started leading to 400 errors. This change fixes that by making the very first poll
return immediately so that the client can use that to determine if there was an error connecting.
