Advanced Configuration Options of gRPC Client

Advanced configuration gRPC options are available on both the server and client implementations. For example, a client might be placed in a location with low network bandwidth. When this happens, it would be good to limit the amount of data it can send and receive. On the other hand, maybe the opposite happens, and the client is placed onto a very fast network. In this situation, it may make sense not to restrict the amount of data it can handle.

Client-side configuration options can be applied to fine-tune the gRPC client for a specific scenario. They can be used to optimize performance, apply additional security, apply custom logic to the message-processing pipeline, and so on. The full list of the options available in a .NET implementation of a gRPC client is as follows.

• HttpHandler: If a .NET implementation of a gRPC client uses an HTTP handler object that implements the IHttpHandler interface, this option allows us to override the default implementation of the handler. It should only be used in a narrow range of advanced usage scenarios.

• HttpClient: This setting is an alternative to the HttpHandler setting. It allows us to set a custom IHttpClient implementation for making gRPC calls. It's only used if we need to replace the default HTTP handling provided by the framework.

• DisposeHttpClient: This option causes either the HTTP client or HTTP handler to be disposed of when the gRPC channel is ...
