Visual Studio 2022 - Unexpected Behavior with .NET 6 HttpClient and Dependency Injection
I'm getting frustrated with I've tried everything I can think of but Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy... I'm encountering an issue with dependency injection when using `HttpClient` in a .NET 6 Web API project within Visual Studio 2022. I have registered `HttpClient` in the `Startup.cs` file like this: ```csharp public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { services.AddHttpClient<MyService>(); } ``` In my `MyService` class, I am injecting `HttpClient` as follows: ```csharp public class MyService { private readonly HttpClient _httpClient; public MyService(HttpClient httpClient) { _httpClient = httpClient; } public async Task<string> GetDataAsync(string url) { var response = await _httpClient.GetAsync(url); return await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync(); } } ``` However, when I call the `GetDataAsync` method, I often get a `TaskCanceledException`, which I believe is due to a timeout. The default timeout for `HttpClient` is set to 100 seconds, but it seems to be canceling requests before that. Here’s how I'm calling the method: ```csharp var result = await myService.GetDataAsync("https://example.com/api/data"); ``` I've tried increasing the timeout by configuring the `HttpClient` like this: ```csharp services.AddHttpClient<MyService>(client => { client.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5); }); ``` Despite this, the issue persists. I also checked for any long-running operations on the server-side that might cause a delay but didn't find anything obvious. Additionally, I’ve enabled logging in my application to analyze the HTTP calls but the logs do not indicate any particular issues. Is there something I'm missing in this setup? Any insights or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated! For context: I'm using C# on macOS. I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. The project is a service built with C#. How would you solve this? What's the best practice here? The project is a REST API built with C#. What would be the recommended way to handle this?
