Combining Kiota RetryHandler with httpclient StandardResilienceHandler

[niti01]

Hi,
In dotnet, is it good practice to combine Kiota default handlers, including RetryHandler, with StandardResilienceHandler using AddStandardResilienceHandler on the IHttpClientBuilder, or can they interfere with one another?

Hi @niti01
Thank you for using kiota and for reaching out.

A little while back @svrooj put together an excellent tutorial on how to use kiota clients with asp.net dependency injection you can find here.
With this additional documentation on how to configure the resilience middleware you should be able to put together the configuration that suits your scenario.

Don't hesitate to report back with your findings!
Let us know if you have any additional comments or questions.

Thanks for the reply. I've read the provided links. The second link specifically says: "When adding resilience, you should only add one resilience handler and avoid stacking handlers". By using AddStandardResilienceHandler with the httpclient and the default Kiota handlers I will get both the Kiota RetryHandler and the Http.Resilience Retry strategy. My question is if that is a good idea or if I should use either http.resilience Retry or Kiota RetryHandler or if they work good together.
