The document explains the lifecycle of HttpClient, detailing how it sends requests and receives responses through a stack of message handlers. It highlights common issues such as socket exhaustion and DNS changes when improperly managing HttpClient instances. The use of HttpClientFactory is suggested as a solution to these issues by efficiently creating and managing HttpClient instances.

Understanding HttpClient Lifecycle

HttpClient sends request message and


recieves response message.

HttpClient internally manitains a


stack of Message Handlers.

Each message handler in the stack can


process the HTTP request and pass it to the
next message handler.
There are different types of Handlers. Not all
handlers sends request over the network.

HttpClientHandler or SocketsHttpHandler,
which is usually the final Handler in the stack,
sends the request over the network.

The target server (API) processes the


incoming HTTP request and sends back an
HTTP Response.

Response message travels through each


HttpMessageHandler in the stack, but this
time in an upward direction.

Each HttpMessageHandler can process the


Response message too before passing it to
the next handler.

This pipeline process allows for extensibility,


such as adding custom headers or logging.

Common Issues of HttpClient

Socket Exhaustion issue: Creating a new


instance of HttpClient for every request can
lead to socket exhaustion due to improper
handling of underlying connections.

Ajay Patel

DNS Changes issue: Static HttpClient


instance solves socket exhaustion issue, but
it does not respect DNS change if it is reused
for a long time.

Using HttpClientFactory

Ajay Patel

HttpClientFactory solves the Socket


Exhaustion and DNS changes issue by
creating and managing HttpClient
instances.

In my next article, I’ll cover how


HttpClientFactory solves both issues.
