## Ignoring Headers

Headers are treated as properties, and hence can be ignored using `IgnoreMember`:

<!-- snippet: IgnoreHeader -->
<a id='snippet-IgnoreHeader'></a>
```cs
[Fact]
public async Task IgnoreHeader()
{
    using var client = new HttpClient();

    var result = await client.GetAsync("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VerifyTests/Verify/main/license.txt");

    await Verify(result)
        .IgnoreMembers("Server");
}
```

## HttpClient recording via Service

For code that does web calls via HttpClient, these calls can be recorded and verified.


### Service that does http

Given a class that does some Http calls:

<!-- snippet: ServiceThatDoesHttp -->
<a id='snippet-ServiceThatDoesHttp'></a>
```cs
// Resolve a HttpClient. All http calls done at any
// resolved client will be added to `recording.Sends`
public class MyService(HttpClient client)
{
    public Task MethodThatDoesHttp() =>
        // Some code that does some http calls
        client.GetAsync("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VerifyTests/Verify/main/license.txt");
}
```
<sup><a href='/src/Tests/Tests.cs#L60-L71' title='Snippet source file'>snippet source</a> | <a href='#snippet-ServiceThatDoesHttp' title='Start of snippet'>anchor</a></sup>
<!-- endSnippet -->


### Add to IHttpClientBuilder

Http recording can be added to a `IHttpClientBuilder`:

<!-- snippet: HttpClientRecording -->
<a id='snippet-HttpClientRecording'></a>
```cs
var collection = new ServiceCollection();
collection.AddScoped<MyService>();
var httpBuilder = collection.AddHttpClient<MyService>();

// Adds a AddHttpClient and adds a RecordingHandler using AddHttpMessageHandler
var recording = httpBuilder.AddRecording();

await using var provider = collection.BuildServiceProvider();

var myService = provider.GetRequiredService<MyService>();

await myService.MethodThatDoesHttp();

await Verify(recording.Sends);
```
<sup><a href='/src/Tests/Tests.cs#L188-L205' title='Snippet source file'>snippet source</a> | <a href='#snippet-HttpClientRecording' title='Start of snippet'>anchor</a></sup>
<!-- endSnippet -->


### Add globally

Http can also be added globally `IHttpClientBuilder`:

<!-- snippet: HttpClientRecordingGlobal -->
<a id='snippet-HttpClientRecordingGlobal'></a>
```cs
var collection = new ServiceCollection();
collection.AddScoped<MyService>();

// Adds a AddHttpClient and adds a RecordingHandler using AddHttpMessageHandler
var (builder, recording) = collection.AddRecordingHttpClient();

await using var provider = collection.BuildServiceProvider();

var myService = provider.GetRequiredService<MyService>();

await myService.MethodThatDoesHttp();

await Verify(recording.Sends);
```

There a Pause/Resume semantics:

<!-- snippet: HttpClientPauseResume -->
<a id='snippet-HttpClientPauseResume'></a>
```cs
var collection = new ServiceCollection();
collection.AddScoped<MyService>();
var httpBuilder = collection.AddHttpClient<MyService>();

// Adds a AddHttpClient and adds a RecordingHandler using AddHttpMessageHandler
var recording = httpBuilder.AddRecording();

await using var provider = collection.BuildServiceProvider();

var myService = provider.GetRequiredService<MyService>();

// Recording is enabled by default. So Pause to stop recording
recording.Pause();
await myService.MethodThatDoesHttp();

// Resume recording
recording.Resume();
await myService.MethodThatDoesHttp();

await Verify(recording.Sends);
```
<sup><a href='/src/Tests/Tests.cs#L271-L294' title='Snippet source file'>snippet source</a> | <a href='#snippet-HttpClientPauseResume' title='Start of snippet'>anchor</a></sup>
<!-- endSnippet -->

If the `AddRecordingHttpClient` helper method does not meet requirements, the `RecordingHandler` can be explicitly added:

<!-- snippet: HttpClientRecordingExplicit -->
<a id='snippet-HttpClientRecordingExplicit'></a>
```cs
var collection = new ServiceCollection();

var builder = collection.AddHttpClient("name");

// Change to not recording at startup
var recording = new RecordingHandler(recording: false);

builder.AddHttpMessageHandler(() => recording);

await using var provider = collection.BuildServiceProvider();

var factory = provider.GetRequiredService<IHttpClientFactory>();

var client = factory.CreateClient("name");

await client.GetAsync("https://www.google.com/");

recording.Resume();
await client.GetAsync("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VerifyTests/Verify/main/license.txt");

await Verify(recording.Sends);
```

## Http Recording via listener

Http Recording allows, when a method is being tested, for any http requests made as part of that method call to be recorded and verified.


### Usage

Call `HttpRecording.StartRecording();` before the method being tested is called.

The perform the verification as usual:

<!-- snippet: HttpRecording -->
<a id='snippet-HttpRecording'></a>
```cs
[Fact]
public async Task TestHttpRecording()
{
    Recording.Start();

    var sizeOfResponse = await MethodThatDoesHttpCalls();

    await Verify(
            new
            {
                sizeOfResponse
            });
}

static async Task<int> MethodThatDoesHttpCalls()
{
    using var client = new HttpClient();

    var jsonResult = await client.GetStringAsync("https://github.com/VerifyTests/Verify.Http/raw/main/src/global.json");
    var ymlResult = await client.GetStringAsync("https://github.com/VerifyTests/Verify.Http/raw/main/src/appveyor.yml");
    return jsonResult.Length + ymlResult.Length;
}
```

### Explicit Usage

The above usage results in the http calls being automatically added snapshot file. Calls can also be explicitly read and recorded using `HttpRecording.FinishRecording()`. This enables:

 * Filtering what http calls are included in the snapshot.
 * Only verifying a subset of information for each http call.
 * Performing additional asserts on http calls.

For example:

<!-- snippet: HttpRecordingExplicit -->
<a id='snippet-HttpRecordingExplicit'></a>
```cs
[Fact]
public async Task TestHttpRecordingExplicit()
{
    Recording.Start();

    var responseSize = await MethodThatDoesHttpCalls();

    var httpCalls = Recording.Stop()
        .Select(_ => _.Data)
        .OfType<HttpCall>()
        .ToList();

    // Ensure all calls finished in under 5 seconds
    var threshold = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5);
    foreach (var call in httpCalls)
    {
        Assert.True(call.Duration < threshold);
    }

    await Verify(
        new

## Mocking

`MockHttpClient` allows mocking of http responses and recording of http requests.


### Default Response

The default behavior is to return a `HttpResponseMessage` with a status code of `200 OK`.

<!-- snippet: DefaultContent -->
<a id='snippet-DefaultContent'></a>
```cs
[Fact]
public async Task DefaultContent()
{
    using var client = new MockHttpClient();

    var result = await client.GetAsync("https://fake/get");

    await Verify(result);
}
```
<sup><a href='/src/Tests/MockHttpClientTests.cs#L37-L49' title='Snippet source file'>snippet source</a> | <a href='#snippet-DefaultContent' title='Start of snippet'>anchor</a></sup>
<!-- endSnippet -->


#### Resulting verified file

<!-- snippet: MockHttpClientTests.DefaultContent.verified.txt -->
<a id='snippet-MockHttpClientTests.DefaultContent.verified.txt'></a>
```txt
{
  Version: 1.1,
  Status: 200 OK
}
```
<sup><a href='/src/Tests/MockHttpClientTests.DefaultContent.verified.txt#L1-L4' title='Snippet source file'>snippet source</a> | <a href='#snippet-MockHttpClientTests.DefaultContent.verified.txt' title='Start of snippet'>anchor</a></sup>
<!-- endSnippet -->


### Verifying Calls

Request-Response pairs can be verified using `MockHttpClient.Calls`

<!-- snippet: RecordedCalls -->
<a id='snippet-RecordedCalls'></a>
```cs
[Fact]
public async Task RecordedCalls()
{
    using var client = new MockHttpClient();

    await client.GetAsync("https://fake/get1");
    await client.GetAsync("https://fake/get2");

    await Verify(client.Calls);
}
```
<sup><a href='/src/Tests/MockHttpClientTests.cs#L51-L64' title='Snippet source file'>snippet source</a> | <a href='#snippet-RecordedCalls' title='Start of snippet'>anchor</a></sup>
<!-- endSnippet -->


#### Resulting verified file

<!-- snippet: MockHttpClientTests.RecordedCalls.verified.txt -->
<a id='snippet-MockHttpClientTests.RecordedCalls.verified.txt'></a>
```txt
[
  {
    Request: https://fake/get1,
    Response: 200 Ok
  },
  {
    Request: https://fake/get2,
    Response: 200 Ok
  }
]
```
<sup><a href='/src/Tests/MockHttpClientTests.RecordedCalls.verified.txt#L1-L10' title='Snippet source file'>snippet source</a> | <a href='#snippet-MockHttpClientTests.RecordedCalls.verified.txt' title='Start of snippet'>anchor</a></sup>
<!-- endSnippet -->


### Explicit Content Response

Always return an explicit `StringContent` and media-type:

<!-- snippet: ExplicitContent -->
<a id='snippet-ExplicitContent'></a>
```cs
[Fact]
public async Task ExplicitContent()
{
    using var client = new MockHttpClient(
        content: """{ "a": "b" }""",
        mediaType: "application/json");

    var result = await client.GetAsync("https://fake/get");

    await Verify(result);
}
```
<sup><a href='/src/Tests/MockHttpClientTests.cs#L21-L35' title='Snippet source file'>snippet source</a> | <a href='#snippet-ExplicitContent' title='Start of snippet'>anchor</a></sup>
<!-- endSnippet -->


#### Resulting verified file

<!-- snippet: MockHttpClientTests.ExplicitContent.verified.txt -->
<a id='snippet-MockHttpClientTests.ExplicitContent.verified.txt'></a>
```txt
{
  Status: 200 OK,
  Content: {
    Headers: {
      Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
    },
    Value: {
      a: b
    }
  }
}
```

<!-- endSnippet -->


### Explicit HttpStatusCode Response

Always return an explicit `HttpStatusCode`:

<!-- snippet: ExplicitStatusCode -->
<a id='snippet-ExplicitStatusCode'></a>
```cs
[Fact]
public async Task ExplicitStatusCode()
{
    using var client = new MockHttpClient(HttpStatusCode.Ambiguous);

    var result = await client.GetAsync("https://fake/get");

    await Verify(result);
}
```
<sup><a href='/src/Tests/MockHttpClientTests.cs#L66-L78' title='Snippet source file'>snippet source</a> | <a href='#snippet-ExplicitStatusCode' title='Start of snippet'>anchor</a></sup>
<!-- endSnippet -->


#### Resulting verified file

<!-- snippet: MockHttpClientTests.ExplicitStatusCode.verified.txt -->
<a id='snippet-MockHttpClientTests.ExplicitStatusCode.verified.txt'></a>
```txt
{
  Version: 1.1,
  Status: 300 Multiple Choices
}
```
<sup><a href='/src/Tests/MockHttpClientTests.ExplicitStatusCode.verified.txt#L1-L4' title='Snippet source file'>snippet source</a> | <a href='#snippet-MockHttpClientTests.ExplicitStatusCode.verified.txt' title='Start of snippet'>anchor</a></sup>
<!-- endSnippet -->


### Explicit HttpResponseMessage

Alwars return an explicit `HttpResponseMessage`:

<!-- snippet: ExplicitResponse -->
<a id='snippet-ExplicitResponse'></a>
```cs
[Fact]
public async Task ExplicitResponse()
{
    var response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK)
    {
        Content = new StringContent("Hello")
    };
    using var client = new MockHttpClient(response);

    var result = await client.GetAsync("https://fake/get");

    await Verify(result);
}
```
<sup><a href='/src/Tests/MockHttpClientTests.cs#L80-L96' title='Snippet source file'>snippet source</a> | <a href='#snippet-ExplicitResponse' title='Start of snippet'>anchor</a></sup>
<!-- endSnippet -->


#### Resulting verified file

  Status: 200 OK,
  Content: {
    Headers: {
      Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
    },
    Value: Hello
  }
}
```

<!-- endSnippet -->


### HttpResponseMessage builder

Use custom code to create a `HttpResponseMessage` base on a `HttpRequestMessage`:

<!-- snippet: ResponseBuilder -->
<a id='snippet-ResponseBuilder'></a>
```cs
[Fact]
public async Task ResponseBuilder()
{
    using var client = new MockHttpClient(
        request =>
        {
            var content = $"Hello to {request.RequestUri}";
            var response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK)
            {
                Content = new StringContent(content),
            };
            return response;
        });

    var result1 = await client.GetAsync("https://fake/get1");
    var result2 = await client.GetAsync("https://fake/get2");

    await Verify(new
    {
        result1,
        result2
    });
}
```

      Headers: {
        Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
      },
      Value: Hello to https://fake/get1
    }
  },
  result2: {
    Status: 200 OK,
    Content: {
      Headers: {

<!-- endSnippet -->


### Enumeration of HttpResponseMessage

Use a sequence of `HttpResponseMessage` to return a sequence of requests:

<!-- snippet: EnumerableResponses -->
<a id='snippet-EnumerableResponses'></a>
```cs
[Fact]
public async Task EnumerableResponses()
{
    using var client = new MockHttpClient(
        new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK)
        {
            Content = new StringContent("Hello")
        },
        new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK)
        {
            Content = new StringContent("World")
        });

    var result1 = await client.GetAsync("https://fake/get1");
    var result2 = await client.GetAsync("https://fake/get2");

    await Verify(new
    {
        result1,
        result2
    });
}
```
