System.Net.Http.HttpMethod vs. Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.HttpMethods

[am11]

Since both provide same support except System.Net.Http.HttpMethod.Connect is internal, is there a general guideline which one the devs should use?
Or can the (plural) one in this repo deprecated?

@am11 thanks for contacting us.

Those two classes serve different purposes. If you are using ASP.NET Core APIs you should use Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.HttpMethods and if you are using HttpClient APIs you should use System.Net.Http.HttpMethod

@Tratcher in case he wants to add something more.

Their types are different. HttpMethod is a class instance containing a string, where HttpMethods is static set of strings that can be used directly.

HttpMethod is required when working with HttpClient. HttpMethods can be used almost anywhere else.

Don't expect either to be deprecated any time soon.
