I had discovered few bugs in cookies handling myself, compared behavior to competitors and moved on. If cookies handling is not enough, i came across inconsistent behavior on different platforms: on Windows it uses WinHttpHandler, on Linux its curl lib(if i remember correctly). And they both handle edge cases differently.

HttpClient uses sockets in managed code since .NET Core 2.1 which was released in Oct 2018: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/whats-new/dotne...

There shouldn't be any platform issues unless you're using an even older version or manually forcing it. What bugs in cookie handling did you encounter? This is very widely used code and the team is responsive so if you can document the issues then they can help.
