Configure Http Client

MSAL lets you provide your own Http client for supporting fine grained configurations.

To use a custom Http client, you'll need to implement IHttpClient. This class, which we will class HttpClientAdapter, should implement send, which takes in the HttpRequest composed by MSAL, executes it, and then constructs IHttpResponse with the results of the execution.

class OkHttpClientAdapter implements IHttpClient{

    private OkHttpClient client;

    OkHttpClientAdapter(){

        // You can configure OkHttpClient 
        this.client = new OkHttpClient();  
    }

    @Override
    public IHttpResponse send(HttpRequest httpRequest) throws IOException {
        
        // Map URL, headers, and body from MSAL's HttpRequest to OkHttpClient request object  
        Request request = buildOkRequestFromMsalRequest(httpRequest);

        // Execute Http request with OkHttpClient
        Response okHttpResponse= client.newCall(request).execute();
     
        // Map status code, headers, and response body from OkHttpClient's Response object to MSAL's IHttpResponse
        return buildMsalResponseFromOkResponse(okHttpResponse);
    }

Once HttpClientAdapter has been implemented, it can be set on the client application for which you would like to use it.

        IHttpClient httpClient = new OkHttpClientAdapter();
        PublicClientApplication pca = PublicClientApplication.builder(
                APP_ID).
                authority(AUTHORITY).
                httpClient(httpClient).
                build();

All Http requests will now be routed through httpClient.
