我认为应该使用单例模式来避免创建HttpClient实例并一直关闭它。如果你使用的是。net 4.0，你可以使用下面的示例代码。有关单例模式检查的更多信息，请点击这里。

class HttpClientSingletonWrapper : HttpClient
{
    private static readonly Lazy<HttpClientSingletonWrapper> Lazy= new Lazy<HttpClientSingletonWrapper>(()=>new HttpClientSingletonWrapper()); 

    public static HttpClientSingletonWrapper Instance {get { return Lazy.Value; }}

    private HttpClientSingletonWrapper()
    {
    }
}

使用下面的代码。

var client = HttpClientSingletonWrapper.Instance;

目前的答案有点令人困惑和误导，它们遗漏了一些重要的DNS含义。我会试着把情况总结清楚。

Generally speaking most IDisposable objects should ideally be disposed when you are done with them, especially those that own Named/shared OS resources. HttpClient is no exception, since as Darrel Miller points out it allocates cancellation tokens, and request/response bodies can be unmanaged streams. However, the best practice for HttpClient says you should create one instance and reuse it as much as possible (using its thread-safe members in multi-threaded scenarios). Therefore, in most scenarios you'll never dispose of it simply because you will be needing it all the time. The problem with re-using the same HttpClient "forever" is that the underlying HTTP connection might remain open against the originally DNS-resolved IP, regardless of DNS changes. This can be an issue in scenarios like blue/green deployment and DNS-based failover. There are various approaches for dealing with this issue, the most reliable one involving the server sending out a Connection:close header after DNS changes take place. Another possibility involves recycling the HttpClient on the client side, either periodically or via some mechanism that learns about the DNS change. See https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/11224 for more information (I suggest reading it carefully before blindly using the code suggested in the linked blog post).

在我的理解中，只有当Dispose()锁定稍后需要的资源(如特定连接)时才有必要调用Dispose()。总是建议释放你不再使用的资源，即使你不再需要它们，只是因为你通常不应该持有你不使用的资源。

微软的例子不一定是错误的。当应用程序退出时，将释放所使用的所有资源。在那个例子中，它几乎是在HttpClient被使用完之后立即发生的。在类似的情况下，显式调用Dispose()有点多余。

但是，一般来说，当一个类实现IDisposable时，只要您完全准备好并能够执行，您就应该Dispose()它的实例。我认为在像HttpClient这样的情况下尤其如此，其中没有明确地记录资源或连接是否被保持/打开。在连接将[很快]再次被重用的情况下，您将希望放弃它的dispose()处理——在这种情况下，您还没有“完全准备好”。

参见: IDisposable。Dispose方法和何时调用Dispose

如果你想要释放HttpClient，你可以把它设置为一个资源池。在应用程序的末尾，分配资源池。

代码:

// Notice that IDisposable is not implemented here!
public interface HttpClientHandle
{
    HttpRequestHeaders DefaultRequestHeaders { get; }
    Uri BaseAddress { get; set; }
    // ...
    // All the other methods from peeking at HttpClient
}

public class HttpClientHander : HttpClient, HttpClientHandle, IDisposable
{
    public static ConditionalWeakTable<Uri, HttpClientHander> _httpClientsPool;
    public static HashSet<Uri> _uris;

    static HttpClientHander()
    {
        _httpClientsPool = new ConditionalWeakTable<Uri, HttpClientHander>();
        _uris = new HashSet<Uri>();
        SetupGlobalPoolFinalizer();
    }

    private DateTime _delayFinalization = DateTime.MinValue;
    private bool _isDisposed = false;

    public static HttpClientHandle GetHttpClientHandle(Uri baseUrl)
    {
        HttpClientHander httpClient = _httpClientsPool.GetOrCreateValue(baseUrl);
        _uris.Add(baseUrl);
        httpClient._delayFinalization = DateTime.MinValue;
        httpClient.BaseAddress = baseUrl;

        return httpClient;
    }

    void IDisposable.Dispose()
    {
        _isDisposed = true;
        GC.SuppressFinalize(this);

        base.Dispose();
    }

    ~HttpClientHander()
    {
        if (_delayFinalization == DateTime.MinValue)
            _delayFinalization = DateTime.UtcNow;
        if (DateTime.UtcNow.Subtract(_delayFinalization) < base.Timeout)
            GC.ReRegisterForFinalize(this);
    }

    private static void SetupGlobalPoolFinalizer()
    {
        AppDomain.CurrentDomain.ProcessExit +=
            (sender, eventArgs) => { FinalizeGlobalPool(); };
    }

    private static void FinalizeGlobalPool()
    {
        foreach (var key in _uris)
        {
            HttpClientHander value = null;
            if (_httpClientsPool.TryGetValue(key, out value))
                try { value.Dispose(); } catch { }
        }

        _uris.Clear();
        _httpClientsPool = null;
    }
}

var handler = HttpClientHander.GetHttpClientHandle（new Uri（“base url”））.

HttpClient作为一个接口，不能调用Dispose()。 Dispose()将被垃圾回收器以延迟的方式调用。 或者当程序通过析构函数清理对象时。 使用弱引用+延迟清理逻辑，因此只要它被频繁重用，它就会一直被使用。 它只为传递给它的每个基本URL分配一个新的HttpClient。原因由Ohad Schneider解释，答案如下。更改基本url时的不良行为。 HttpClientHandle允许在测试中进行mock

Dispose()调用下面的代码，关闭HttpClient实例打开的连接。代码是通过使用dotPeek进行反编译创建的。

HttpClientHandler.cs -特性

ServicePointManager.CloseConnectionGroups(this.connectionGroupName);

如果你不调用dispose，那么ServicePointManager。由定时器运行的MaxServicePointIdleTime将关闭http连接。缺省值是100秒。

ServicePointManager.cs

internal static readonly TimerThread.Callback s_IdleServicePointTimeoutDelegate = new TimerThread.Callback(ServicePointManager.IdleServicePointTimeoutCallback);
private static volatile TimerThread.Queue s_ServicePointIdlingQueue = TimerThread.GetOrCreateQueue(100000);

private static void IdleServicePointTimeoutCallback(TimerThread.Timer timer, int timeNoticed, object context)
{
  ServicePoint servicePoint = (ServicePoint) context;
  if (Logging.On)
    Logging.PrintInfo(Logging.Web, SR.GetString("net_log_closed_idle", (object) "ServicePoint", (object) servicePoint.GetHashCode()));
  lock (ServicePointManager.s_ServicePointTable)
    ServicePointManager.s_ServicePointTable.Remove((object) servicePoint.LookupString);
  servicePoint.ReleaseAllConnectionGroups();
}

如果你还没有将空闲时间设置为无限，那么不调用dispose并让空闲连接计时器启动并为你关闭连接似乎是安全的，尽管如果你知道你已经完成了HttpClient实例并更快地释放资源，那么在using语句中调用dispose会更好。

一般的共识是您不(不应该)需要处理HttpClient。

许多密切参与其工作方式的人都说过这一点。

请参阅Darrel Miller的博客文章和相关的SO文章:HttpClient爬行导致内存泄漏。

我还强烈建议你阅读《用ASP设计可进化的Web api》中的HttpClient章节。NET提供关于底层发生了什么的上下文，特别是这里引用的“生命周期”部分:

Although HttpClient does indirectly implement the IDisposable interface, the standard usage of HttpClient is not to dispose of it after every request. The HttpClient object is intended to live for as long as your application needs to make HTTP requests. Having an object exist across multiple requests enables a place for setting DefaultRequestHeaders and prevents you from having to re-specify things like CredentialCache and CookieContainer on every request as was necessary with HttpWebRequest.

甚至可以打开DotPeek。
