Hey, Thanks for in detail explanation, Microsoft has a nugget package for handling header propagation Microsoft.AspNetCore.HeaderPropagation It is easier to use.

@bellons91 Great, Here is a good blog about that. You can also create a new blog post as a new approach for handling this :)

Without Adding line "builder.Services.AddHttpClient("items") .AddHeaderPropagation(options => options.HeaderNames.Add("my-correlation-id"));" headers are not getting propagated..would u be able to explain why?

[bellons91]

Actually, no.

I found out that if you don't specify the HttpClient's name it doesn't work. But I still haven't figured out why.
