Microsoft.Extensions.Http

Microsoft.Extensions.Http provides an implementation of an HttpClient factory as a pattern for configuring and retrieving named HttpClients in a composable way. The HttpClient factory provides extensibility to plug in DelegatingHandlers that address cross-cutting concerns such as service location, load balancing, and reliability. The default HttpClient factory provides built-in diagnostics and logging and manages the lifetimes of connections in a performant way.

Commonly Used Types:

• System.Net.Http.IHttpClientFactory

Contribution Bar

• We consider new features, new APIs, bug fixes, and performance changes

The APIs and functionality are mature, but do get extended occasionally.

Deployment

Microsoft.Extensions.Http is deployed as out-of-band (OOB) too and can be referenced into projects directly.
