CasCap.Common.Net

Abstract base class, extensions, and authentication handlers for building typed HttpClient wrappers and securing ASP.NET Core APIs.

Installation

dotnet add package CasCap.Common.Net

Purpose

Provides HttpClientBase, an abstract class giving derived HTTP clients a consistent surface for GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE operations with automatic JSON (de)serialization. Network-related extension methods for headers and query strings are also included. Additionally provides BasicAuthenticationHandler for HTTP Basic authentication against ApiAuthConfig. The HttpClientBase and BasicAuthenticationHandler implementations are gated behind #if NET8_0_OR_GREATER.

Target frameworks: netstandard2.0, net8.0, net9.0, net10.0

Services

Type Description
HttpClientBase Abstract base class — PostJsonAsync, PostBytesAsync, GetAsync, PutAsync, DeleteAsync with error handling

Authentication

Type Description
BasicAuthenticationHandler ASP.NET Core authentication handler validating HTTP Basic credentials against ApiAuthConfig. Skips authentication for paths matching ApiAuthConfig.AnonymousPathPrefixes (net8.0+ only)

HTTP Auditing

Type Description
HttpAuditHandler DelegatingHandler that captures HTTP request/response pairs and persists them via IHttpAuditStore (net8.0+ only)
HttpAuditSource Defines the HttpRequestOptionsKey used to tag requests with a logical source name
FileHttpAuditStore Lightweight file-based IHttpAuditStore that writes each audit entry as an individual JSON file organised into daily sub-folders (yyyy-MM-dd)

Extensions

Class Key Methods
NetExtensions HttpResponseHeaders.TryGetValue(), ToQueryString(), AddOrOverwrite()
HttpClientBuilderResilienceExtensions AddStandardResilience() — adds retry, circuit breaker, and timeout via Microsoft.Extensions.Http.Resilience with structured logging
HttpClientBuilderAuditExtensions AddHttpAuditing(sourceName) — adds HttpAuditHandler to the HTTP client pipeline to capture request/response audit entries (net8.0+ only)

Class Hierarchy

Abstract base class pattern for typed HTTP clients:

classDiagram
    direction TB

    HttpClientBase <|-- YourCustomClient
    HttpClientBase <|-- AnotherApiClient

    class HttpClientBase {
        <<abstract>>
        #HttpClient HttpClient
        #ILogger Logger
        +PostJsonAsync~T~(uri, body) Task~T~
        +PostBytesAsync(uri, bytes) Task~HttpResponseMessage~
        +GetAsync~T~(uri) Task~T~
        +PutAsync~T~(uri, body) Task~T~
        +DeleteAsync(uri) Task~HttpResponseMessage~
        #HandleError(response) void
    }

    class YourCustomClient {
        +GetUsers() Task~User[]~
        +CreateUser(user) Task~User~
        +UpdateUser(id, user) Task~User~
        +DeleteUser(id) Task
    }

    class AnotherApiClient {
        +GetData() Task~Data~
        +PostData(data) Task~Result~
    }

    HttpClientBase ..> ILogger : uses
    HttpClientBase ..> HttpClient : uses

Usage Pattern:

  1. Inherit from HttpClientBase
  2. Inject HttpClient and ILogger via constructor
  3. Use built-in methods (GetAsync, PostJsonAsync, etc.) for API calls
  4. Override HandleError for custom error handling

CasCap.Apis.GooglePhotos

Fully featured .NET library/wrapper for the Google Photos REST API. This *unofficial* library enables programmatic access to the media items and albums of a Google Photos account. The library leverages the authentication in the official Google.Apis.Auth library and builds on that by encapsulating all REST API calls in an efficient wrapper returning strongly-typed objects. For more details about the underlying API see the official site, https://developers.google.com/photos For usage examples see the docs on github, https://github.com/f2calv/CasCap.Apis.GooglePhotos
