Summary A DelegatingHandler that replays previously captured HTTP responses from snapshot files.
This handler intercepts outgoing HTTP requests and returns responses from snapshot files
instead of making actual network calls. This enables deterministic testing against real
response data without hitting live endpoints.
Response snapshots are typically captured using ResponseSnapshotCaptureHandler
during an initial recording phase, then replayed during test execution.
Examples // Create a handler that reads from snapshot files var handler = new ResponseSnapshotReplayHandler ( "TestData/Snapshots" ); var client = new HttpClient ( handler ); // Requests will be served from snapshot files instead of the network var response = await client . GetAsync ( "https://api.example.com/users" );
Constructors Creates a new ResponseSnapshotReplayHandler that reads response snapshots from the specified path.
Syntax public ResponseSnapshotReplayHandler ( string responseSnapshotsPath )
Parameters Name Type Description responseSnapshotsPathstringRoot folder path containing response snapshot files.
