## HttpClient class


Represents a base class of an HTTP client for sending requests and receiving responses. Objects of this class should only be allocated using [System::MakeObject()](../../system/makeobject/) function. Never create instance of this type on stack or using operator new, as it will result in runtime errors and/or assertion faults. Always wrap this class into [System::SmartPtr](../../system/smartptr/) pointer and use this pointer to pass it to functions as argument.

```cpp
class HttpClient : public System::Net::Http::HttpMessageInvoker
```
