KiotaClientFactory is missing key helper methods in C# about kiota-http-dotnet HOT 2 CLOSED

I'm curious to see if this impacts all languages today honestly. Thoughts @baywet?

Also, what if we were skipping entirely the KiotaClientFactory.Create(handler) and accepting the handlers in the HttpClientRequestAdapter?

The result would be :

var handlers = KiotaClientFactory.CreateDefaultHandlers();
handlers.Insert(0, new CompressionHandler());
var requestAdapter = new HttpClientRequestAdapter(new AnonymousAuthenticationProvider(), handlers);

This seems to be a much more useful way to do it and would hide a lot of the complexity. We would still support the full HttpClient way, but this would serve more advanced scenarios.

passing the handlers independently of the client is going to lead to overloads overload IMHO. The client may carry additional information the user wants to set besides the handlers.

As for the other languages:

• TypeScript passes the handlers directly, but that's because it doesn't have a client object
• Java is just create the order doesn't matter
• Same for Go
• Ruby doesn't have middleware yet
• Python doesn't require ordering
• PHP doesn't require people to order themselves, but uses a stack which maintains order
