Why would you use HttpClient with dependency injection ? Are you unit testing httpclient calls ?
Yes, it makes multiple things easier, including dependency injection and middleware service registration for .NET Core and mocking an HttpClient for unit testing and test-driven development. When mocking, I am currently not trying to simulate any calls for the HttpClient. I am just trying to make sure it can be mocked in the first place. See here for other benefits: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/architecture/microservices/implement-resilient-applications/use-httpclientfactory-to-implement-resilient-http-requests#benefits-of-using-ihttpclientfactory
Description
I am trying to use dependency injection and the recommended practice of
IHttpClientFactory
instead of a concreteHttpClient
. However, making these changes causes theAndroidClientHandler
not to be respected for SSL connections. When using a concrete type ofHttpClient
, the SSL connection is successful. When usingIHttpClientFactory.CreateClient().GetAsync()
, an exception is thrown related to SSL certificate verification via Mono Boring TLS/SSL.Steps to Reproduce
master
branch uses a concreteHttpClient
object to make the API call and it succeeds. a. Run the Web API using the Kestrel web server, as well as the Android application on an emulator. b. The call stack is as follows:MainPageViewModel.GetWeather()
>HttpClientUsingService.GetWeather()
>HttpClient.GetAsync()
>WeatherForecastController.Get()
> return a list ofWeatherForecast
objects all the way up to the View.IHttpClientFactory-Bug
introduces .NET Core dependency injection and use ofIHttpClientFactory
. The API call fails due to SSL. a. Run the Web API using the Kestrel web server, as well as the Android application on an emulator. b. The call stack is the same as in step 2b, except thatHttpClientUsingService.GetWeather()
now uses anHttpClientFactory
to create theHttpClient
and then callsGetAsync()
on that instantiated client. c. The API call fails due to SSL certificate issues, as shown in the exception.Expected Behavior
The default
AndroidClientHandler
configuration for SSL is preserved. The call fromHttpClientUsingService.GetWeather
toGet
on theWeatherForecast
controller succeeds when usingIHttpClientFactory
.Actual Behavior
The default
AndroidClientHandler
configuration for SSL is not preserved. The call fromHttpClientUsingService.GetWeather
toGet
on theWeatherForecast
controller fails with exception as below:Innermost Exception
Outer Exception (not as useful as the inner exception)
Basic Information
Note: I am using the Kestrel Web server for the API project's startup profile, not the IIS Express server.

Workaround
The workaround (for now) is to keep using a concrete version of the HttpClient instead of making use of the HttpClientFactory with dependency injection. Not as fancy, but at least it works!
