Issue when using GrpcClient with HttpClientFactory on .NET 6

What version of gRPC and what language are you using?

<PackageReference Include="Grpc.AspNetCore" Version="2.40.0" />

What operating system (Linux, Windows,…) and version?

Windows 11

What runtime / compiler are you using (e.g. .NET Core SDK version `dotnet --info`)

.NET 6.0.100

What did you do?

I just followed the guidance from MS docs to create the client and server using gRPC. The server part runs fine without errors. But the client whenever I add the code below

builder.Services
    .AddGrpcClient<Auditor.AuditorClient>("Auditor", o =>
    {
        o.Address = new Uri("https://localhost:5006");
    })
    .ConfigureHttpClient(client => /* <=== This will cause the exception */
    {
    })
    .EnableCallContextPropagation(o => o.SuppressContextNotFoundErrors = true);

What did you expect to see?

I expect the client part should run fine with the ConfigureHttpClient function in-place

What did you see instead?

The exception

System.InvalidOperationException: The ConfigureHttpClient method is not supported when creating gRPC clients. Unable to create client with name 'Auditor'.

Great.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve improved the doc some more: https://github.com/dotnet/AspNetCore.Docs/pull/23857

Hi @JamesNK and @adityamandaleeka ,

I would like to confirm that after following the docs that you wrote, then it works. But with some of the changes so that I put it here for someone who has got the issue just like me

gRPC Server

We have set up the server with some lines of codes as

using System.Net;
using AuditCenter.Services;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Core;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddGrpc();
builder.WebHost.ConfigureKestrel((context, options) =>
{
    options.Listen(IPAddress.Any, 5001, listenOptions =>
    {
        listenOptions.Protocols = HttpProtocols.Http3;
        listenOptions.UseHttps();
    });
});

var app = builder.Build();

app.UseHttpLogging();

// Configure the HTTP request pipeline.
app.MapGrpcService<GreeterService>();
app.MapGrpcService<AuditService>();
app.MapGet("/",
    () =>
        "AuditService is ready to serve you!!! What do you want from me?");

app.Run();

And after the run, it should run at https://localhost:5001. And we might need to trust the server using dotnet dev-certs https --trust

gRPC Client

The client should follow some steps:

Step 1: Open up the client.csproj, and add

<ItemGroup>
    <RuntimeHostConfigurationOption Include="System.Net.SocketsHttpHandler.Http3Support" Value="true" />
</ItemGroup>

The docs for it can be found at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/extensions/httpclient-http3#using-httpclient

Step 2: Adding some code for configuration like you mentioned

public class Http3Handler : DelegatingHandler
{
    public Http3Handler(HttpMessageHandler innerHandler)
        : base(innerHandler)
    {
    }

    protected override Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync(
        HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        request.Version = HttpVersion.Version30;
        request.VersionPolicy = HttpVersionPolicy.RequestVersionExact;
        return base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);
    }
}

And configure for gRPC Client

builder.Services
    .AddGrpcClient<Auditor.AuditorClient>("Auditor", o =>
    {
        o.Address = new Uri("https://localhost:5001");
    })
    .ConfigureChannel(options =>
    {
        options.HttpHandler = new Http3Handler(new HttpClientHandler());
    })
    .EnableCallContextPropagation(o => o.SuppressContextNotFoundErrors = true);

And now we can run it perfectly.

Thank you again for the guidance and shed the light on it @JamesNK 👍
