1. Feature: Custom HttpClient Handler Support

A significant improvement has been introduced to allow users to inject a custom SocketsHttpHandler when configuring a named HttpClient. This enhancement provides granular control over network behavior, such as connection settings, proxy configuration, and automatic HTTP compression.

Example: Enabling Automatic HTTP Compression

You can now configure automatic HTTP decompression for your named client:

var handler = new SocketsHttpHandler 
{
 // Enable automatic decompression for GZip and Deflate
 AutomaticDecompression = System.Net.DecompressionMethods.GZip | System.Net.DecompressionMethods.Deflate,
};
builder.Services.AddHttpClients(builder.Configuration, handler);

CSharpEssentials.HttpHelper is a lightweight helper to simplify the usage of HttpClient in .NET with a fluent, configurable API.
It provides convenient methods for request customization, retries, timeouts, authentication headers, and more.
