java httpclient 单例,单例是实例化HttpClient的好方法

I have a C# library that makes calls to a restful web service using a HttpClient.

The class library is used inside an MVC application that could run for weeks without being restarted.

Is a singleton a good way of creating the HttpClient so I have just one HttpClient for the very long life of the MVC application?

Here is another article from Henrik F. Nielsen about HttpClient where he says:

"The default HttpClient is the simplest way in which you can start sending requests. A single HttpClient can be used to send as many HTTP requests as you want concurrently so in many scenarios you can just create one HttpClient and then use that for all your requests."

So you can use a singleton with HttpClient if you will use asynchronous methods, like:

CancelPendingRequests

DeleteAsync

GetAsync

GetByteArrayAsync

GetStreamAsync

GetStringAsync

PostAsync

PutAsync

SendAsync

Quick summary:

If you have requests that are related (or won't step on eachother) then using the same HttpClient makes a lot of sense.

In genral I would recommend reusing HttpClient instances as much as possible.
