Windows.Web.Http.HttpClient.HttpClient

-description

Initializes a new instance of the HttpClient class with a specific filter for handling HTTP response messages. For programming guidance for the HttpClient class, and code examples, see the HttpClient conceptual topic.

-parameters

-param filter

The HTTP filter to use for handling response messages.

-remarks

If a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) is specified for the filter parameter, the default transport handler for receiving responses with no filter is used.

-examples

The sample code shows creating an HttpClient to use a custom filter.

internal static void CreateHttpClient(ref HttpClient httpClient)
{
    if (httpClient != null) {
        httpClient.Dispose();
    }

    // HttpClient can be extended by plugging multiple filters together,
    // providing HttpClient with the configured filter pipeline.
    var baseFilter = new HttpBaseProtocolFilter();

    var myFilter = new MyCustomFilter(baseFilter);
    httpClient = new HttpClient(myFilter);
}
