ALOpsAppSource@1 fails with exception: `ReadAsStringAsync` cannot access disposed object

[DanielGoehler]

Describe the bug
With the new version publish to AppSource works again, but checking the submission status does not seem stable. Sometimes the task fails with the following error:

Exception calling "ReadAsStringAsync" with "0" argument(s): "Cannot access a disposed object.
Object name: 'System.Net.Http.HttpConnectionResponseContent'."

The default autopromote values are in place:

autopromote_checksecondsdelay: 30
autopromote_maxtries: 120

I would expect the task to retry the status check when this kind of transient error occurs.

the used yaml
please provide the yaml that you used. It helps you put the yaml like this:

steps:
- task: ALOpsAppSource@1
  displayName: 'ALOps AppSource'
  inputs:
    azure_tenant_id: '$(TenantID)'
    azure_app_client_id: '$(AppSourceClientId)'
    azure_app_client_secret: '$(AppSourceClientSecret)'
    apply_offering_version_filter: true
    autopromote: true
    offering_name_filter_array: '***'
    pwsh: true

the output
Also the complete output is necessary for us to see what is going on. Also use backtics:

We improved error handling, but we don't know yet why this error occurs.

[DanielGoehler]

Thanks!

Just a guess: In this comment about the same problem on BC ContainerHelper, it is mentioned that the request can also return a 404 error:

The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

This might explain why you cannot read the JSON response, because there may not be one.
