  • ActiveHealthCheckOptions => ActiveHealthCheckConfig
  • PassiveHealthCheckOptions => PassiveHealthCheckConfig
  • ProxyHttpClientOptions => ProxyHttpClientConfig
  • WebProxyOptions => WebProxyConfig
  • RequestProxyOptions => ForwarderRequestConfig
  • SessionAffinityOptions => SessionAffinityConfig
• Client certificate configuration is removed from HttpClientConfig #994
  • Added configure client certificate sample Details

  • New strongly-typed section SessionAffinityCookieConfig is added to configure the cookie affinity provider
  • SessionAffinityConfig.Settings collection is removed
• Projects structure is refactored by flattening hierarchy and regrouping files, changing several namespaces #1035
• Renamed IHttpProxy => IHttpForwarder. In this context, "Forwarder" term is now used instead of "Proxy", thus in all related type the "Proxy" in the name are replaced with "Forwarder" (e.g. IProxyHttpClientFactory => IForwarderHttpClientFactory, IProxyErrorFeature => IForwarderErrorFeature, AddHttpProxy => AddHttpForwarder)

• X-Forwarded-* and Forwarded header transforms changed. Details
  • New transform actions supported: Set, Remove, Off
  • Prefix config setting renamed to HeaderPrefix

      "For": "Remove",
      "Proto": "Append",
      "Prefix": "Off",
      "HeaderPrefix": "X-Forwarded-"
  }

  • Default action for X-Forwarded-* and Forwarded transforms is Set
• RequestHeader, ResponseHeader, and ResponseTrailer transforms no longer use "Set": "" (empty) to remove a header. See the new *Remove transforms below.

  "HealthCheck": {
    "Passive": {
      "Enabled": "true"
    }
    //...
}
