Does HttpClient use the same ServicePoint Connection Limit as HttpWebRequest?
Thanks
For CICS® as an HTTP client, connection pooling can provide performance benefits where multiple invocations of CICS web support applications, web services applications, or the HTTP EP adapter make connection requests for the same host and port, or where a web services application makes multiple requests and responses.
By default, the maximum number of connections is 20 and the maximum connection number per route is 2. However, these values are generally too low for real-world applications. For example, when all the connections are busy with handling other requests, HttpClient won't create a new connection if the number exceeds 20.
HttpClient is fully thread-safe when used with a thread-safe connection manager such as MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager.
HttpClient connections management in . NET Framework 4.5 and +, the default constructor of HttpClient uses the HttpClientHandler class, which leverages the HttpWebRequest class to send HTTP requests. Therefore, we can use the good old ServicePoint and ServicePointManager classes to manage opened connections.
The answer is not complete. It depends on implementation. In .net core ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit setting is not used, HttpClientHandler.MaxConnectionsPerServer should be used instead.
