HTTP in C#

Remembering the proper character delimiters and order for segments in an HTTP message, anyone should be able to build a request from scratch. Thankfully though, you don't have to remember those details; .NET Core has you covered with the System.Net.Http namespace. We'll explore this namespace in much greater detail later in the book, but for now, just trust that any feature or detail you find yourself needing to leverage HTTP communication in your application is exposed through that namespace. This namespace exposes enum types for status codes and header values, and an HttpMethod class to specify your message verb. As a library, it's rich with out-of-the-box features while remaining flexible and extensible enough to be leveraged in any use case.
