httpClientFactory & Session port

[jdcheesy]

Hello, I have successfully tested the http sink with an custom httpClient. Thanks for the good work :-)
I only noticed two things (or did I understand this wrong?)
-In the custom httpClient, the httpClient itself is initialised and not by the middleware httpclientfactory.
-And a new session port is created for each request.

Is there a solution for this?

Many thanks for your help!

In the custom httpClient, the httpClient itself is initialised and not by the middleware httpclientfactory.

Yes. The basic authenticated HTTP client is a pretty good example where the HttpClient is created in the implementation of IHttpClient.

And a new session port is created for each request.

Are you referring to the problem where each time a new instance of a HttpClient is created, a new port is mapped? In that case we have no problem here since the implementation of IHttpClient only is created once, thus the same instance of HttpClient is reused during the lifetime of the Serilog sink.
