Can I use this skill to inject headers like Authorization tokens?

Yes, it provides patterns for DelegatingHandlers which act as middleware for outgoing requests, allowing you to centrally inject tokens or correlation IDs.

Why shouldn't I use 'new HttpClient()' in .NET?

Creating new instances per request can lead to socket exhaustion under high load and ignores DNS changes. IHttpClientFactory manages the underlying message handlers' lifetimes to solve both issues.

What is the advantage of Keyed Clients in .NET 10?

Keyed clients allow for direct injection of specific HTTP configurations into your services without requiring string-based lookups from a factory, leading to cleaner and more maintainable Dependency Injection.

Does it support testing HTTP-dependent services?

Absolutely. It includes patterns for using MockHttpHandlers to simulate API responses, enabling comprehensive unit testing without making real network calls.

How does this skill handle API failures and transient errors?

It utilizes Microsoft.Extensions.Http.Resilience to implement standard strategies including exponential backoff retries, circuit breakers, and request timeouts.

Desarrollo de API

Implements high-performance, resilient HTTP clients in .NET 10 using IHttpClientFactory and modern keyed injection patterns.

This skill transforms Claude into a .NET 10 networking specialist, guiding developers through the implementation of robust and scalable HTTP communication. It covers the transition from traditional typed clients to the modern keyed services pattern, ensuring adherence to best practices for socket management and DNS rotation. By integrating Microsoft.Extensions.Http.Resilience, the skill automates the setup of retries, circuit breakers, and timeouts, while also providing advanced patterns for DelegatingHandlers to manage cross-cutting concerns like authentication and correlation IDs in microservice architectures.
