Looks like you need DelegatingHandler.

More properly to define primary HttpMessageHandler via ConfigurePrimaryHttpMessageHandler() method of HttpClientBuilder.

Disposal cancels outgoing requests and guarantees the given HttpClient instance can’t be used after calling Dispose. IHttpClientFactory tracks and disposes resources used by HttpClient instances. … Read more
