title: Is there a function to configure an HttpClient from appsettings?
body: <p>I'm looking to configure an <code>HttpClient</code> in Startup.cs.  In the past I put everything in configuration and referenced it in Startup without having to do something like:</p>
  <pre><code>httpClient.BaseAddress = configuration.Get(&quot;Client:BaseAddress&quot;)
  </code></pre>
  <p>Are there any functions or nuget packages that will allow me to just do something like <code>HttpClient.Configure(&quot;Client&quot;)</code> and have it pick all the settings up?</p>
