Proper way to refer to IdentityModel2 in a .netstandared2.0 library.

This issue is related to this StackOverflow question. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44211741/how-to-resolve-httpclient-exists-in-multiple-libs/44299428.

We need to refer IdentityModel library which is targeting .netstandared1.4 from our library targeting .netstandared2.0. But we also refer to HttpClient in our library as well. Ideally .netstandared1.4 targeted library is callable from higher version targeted library. But IdentityModel also references System.Net.Http outside of the standard library. So we ended up with 2 HttpClients and failed to build our project. What is the proper way to fix this? Should we wait until newer version targeting .netstandared2.0?

I actually don't know - we had various problem reports because of that.

Maybe open an issue on the dotnet repo asking for right way to deal with HttpClient. Would be interested in the result.
