- Do not casually replace the default
HttpClientHandlerunless you need special security or connection behavior. - If you need to add business logic (such as logging, retry, or authentication), prefer using
DelegatingHandler. - Only consider a custom
HttpClientHandlerwhen you need fine-grained control over underlying network behavior such asTLS, proxy,Cookie, or timeout policy.
