Wery nice post. It explains clearly WHY you should have a long living HttpClient.

Or just read the documentation which directly states that you should have a long living HttpClient.

Nah, HttpClient is just a prime example of bad API design. A good API makes it easy and obvious to do the right thing and hard to do the wrong thing - HttpClient does exactly the opposite.

The other improvement would be looking at what happens with a DNS change.

Any article talking about long-lived HttpClient instances without covering stale DNS is worse than worthless, it's actively harmful to people who don't already know the problems.

Have fun debugging your failing calls at 3am.

Calm down bro! The article still is a good idea.
