HttpClient Communication to WebAPI Project

Is there a good way to debug code from a console app to a web api project in VS2013? For example if I had some code such as:

Web API Controller 

// GET api/values
public IEnumerable<string> Get()
{
 return string [] { "value1, value2" };
}

Console Application

var client = new HttpClient();
var results = client.GetStringAsync("http://localhost:35690/api/values").Result;

I know I can use a browser or a tool like CURL. However, where this gets more complicated is handling a multipart form post for a file upload scenario I'd like to support.

If the WebAPI service is part of the same solution as the console application, you can simply set breakpoints wherever you wish and they are respected.
