DelegatingHandler Class
A type for HTTP handlers that delegate the processing of HTTP response messages to another handler, called the inner handler.
System.Net.Http.HttpMessageHandler
System.Net.Http.DelegatingHandler
System.Net.Http.MessageProcessingHandler
Assembly: System.Net.Http (in System.Net.Http.dll)
The DelegatingHandler type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
  | DelegatingHandler() | Creates a new instance of the DelegatingHandler class. |
| DelegatingHandler(HttpMessageHandler) | Creates a new instance of the DelegatingHandler class with a specific inner handler. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| InnerHandler | Gets or sets the inner handler which processes the HTTP response messages. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Dispose() | Releases the unmanaged resources and disposes of the managed resources used by the HttpMessageHandler. (Inherited from HttpMessageHandler.) |
| Dispose(Boolean) | Releases the unmanaged resources used by the DelegatingHandler, and optionally disposes of the managed resources. (Overrides HttpMessageHandler.Dispose(Boolean).) |
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| SendAsync | Sends an HTTP request to the inner handler to send to the server as an asynchronous operation. (Overrides HttpMessageHandler.SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage, CancellationToken).) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
This application normally instantiate this class and then set the inner handler or provide an inner handler in the constructor.
Note that InnerHandler property may be a delegating handler too. This approach allows the creation of handler stacks to process the HTTP response messages.
