Count is not translated well

[Echarnus]

When I am using the .Count Fluent API function, my url is translated as https//somedomain.com/odata/myType/$count instead of https//somedomain.com/odata/myType/?count=true.

The API I am sending requests to is made in ASP.Net Core. Is it perhaps possible there are different implementations of OData, all though I thought it was a standard?

I am using version 5.9.0.

Edit: Same problem in 5.9.1.

OData provides two different ways of using $count. Just check these two working examples:

1. https://services.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Products?$count=true
2. https://services.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Products/$count

The first returns all products in the value element of the JSON response and additionally it includes a @odata.count element, which represents the count of all products, no matter what filter you use.

The second returns the exact same count value, but it only returns the value as the raw response without any OData JSON result around.

You can find some Simple.Odata.Client examples at the end of the documentation:

@Echarnus could you solve your issue?

Done. Apparently there is a bug in the OData library I used about this, or at least more people have the same problem, even at later versions: OData/WebApi#1153.
