Consider GoogleCredential.WithHttpClientFactory

See original GitHub issue

We’ve seen a few issues where users have wanted to set a proxy locally - and they can do so via an HttpClientFactory for the main service, but doing that for auth is harder. For GoogleCredential, adding a CreateWithHttpClientFactory method would be in line with our CreateWithUser call. That wouldn’t help for UserCredential, admittedly. Do we also want to provide an out-of-the-box proxy-supporting HttpClientFactory to avoid each user doing their own thing?

I’m not at all certain we want to do any of this, but we should at least consider it.

FYI: This has been released on the v1.52.0 of the Google.Apis libraries.

Usage will look something like this:


IWebProxy proxy = ...;
Google.Apis.Http.IHttpClientFactory factory = HttpClientFactory.ForProxy(proxy);

GoogleCredential credential = GoogleCredential.GetApplicationDefault(); // Or any other way of getting a GoogleCredential.
credential = credential.CreateWithHttpClientFactory(factory);

// Use credential normally.
