How to make outbound HTTP calls with BetterHttpClient (SnowBank.Networking.Http) in an ASP.NET Core or generic-host .NET application - the DI story and the request API. Covers the one-policy-plane model where a client NAME maps to one effective policy that lives in the pooled handler chain, so every client gets the same behavior: a typed client, a keyed client, IHttpClientFactory.CreateClient(name), and the bare IHttpMessageHandlerFactory.CreateHandler(name). Covers AddBetterHttpClientDefaults…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
<!-- Publisher note: the frontmatter description is skill-optimizer output. It was hand-corrected on the 7.4.4 rewrite to drop the now-false claims (the IHttpClientFactory throw on named clients, the shell-as-primary lifetime). Re-run the skill-creator optimizer before shipping, do not hand-tune further. --> # BetterHttpClient - outbound HTTP in an application (DI, options, requests, test interop) `SnowBank.Networking.Http` replaces ad-hoc `HttpClient` / legacy `HttpWebRequest` usage with a small set of load-bearing pieces. This skill is the consumer guide: wiring the DI, declaring named clients, making requests, and what the distributed test framework adds automatically. For diagnosing multi-node tests themselves (journal, packet capture output, log knobs) see the **snowbank-distributed-testing** skill. …

How to install
mdr add snowbanksdk/foundationdb-dotnet-client/snowbank-betterhttp@sha256:cb0f52234a788686The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260823.0303e81, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
