I'm looking for the best .NET C# framework for building a REST Http client. My requirements are as follows:
I have looked at Hammock, but it is lacking in documentation and seems to be troublesome when attempting to mock file uploads.
Any suggestions, please?

ASP.NET makes it easy to build services that reach a broad range of clients, including browsers and mobile devices. With ASP.NET you use the same framework and patterns to build both web pages and services, side-by-side in the same project.
The main conclusion is that one is not better than the other, and we shouldn't compare them since RestSharp is a wrapper around HttpClient. The decision between using one of the two tools depends on the use case and the situation.
HTTP client is a client that is able to send a request to and get a response from the server in HTTP format. REST client is a client that is designed to use a service from a server and this service is RESTful.
RESTful is not a new term. It refers to an architectural style where web services receive and send data from and to client apps. The goal of these applications is to centralize data that different client apps will use.
There is also RestSharp. I've inherited it on some projects and haven't fully explored it myself, so I'm afraid I cannot say if it meets your requirements.
The developer of RestSharp is active in the .Net community, so if the published documentation doesn't cover something I would say there is a good chance of getting some assistance.
