Remarks
Implementations of this interface must be thread-safe. It is important to reuse HttpClient instances to avoid socket exhaustion. Do not create a new HttpClient for each call to GetHttpClient(X509Certificate2). If your application requires Integrated Windows Authentication, set UseDefaultCredentials to true. This interface is designed to support mTLS scenarios.
