Create single instance of HttpClient
Hi,

I am using HttpClient to send GET and POST requests. According to this article you should not create a new instance of the HttpClient before each call but rather reuse one instance through out the lifetime of the application.

So instead of:
```
var client = new HttpClient()
var response = client.GetAsync(url);
```
I would like to use a global instance of client.

How can you create such reusable instances in Umbraco?

Where can I put the code so it is created at start and survives as long as the application is running?

Thanks!

@Jonathan

I know it's a long time since you posted this but do you remember what you ended up doing?

A simple solution would be to create a static class that holds a static instance of HttpClient. For example:

namespace MyProjectCode
{
    public static class EmailHelper
    {
        public static System.Net.Http.HttpClient client = new System.Net.Http.HttpClient();
    }
}

Then to use it elsewhere in your code:

HttpResponseMessage response = await MyProjectCode.EmailHelper.client.PostAsJsonAsync("https://urltosomething.com", Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(myObject));
