Starting in .NET 5, <xref:System.Net.Http.WinHttpHandler> is no longer included in the *System.Net.Http.dll* assembly as part of the .NET runtime. For more information, see [WinHttpHandler removed from .NET runtime](/dotnet/core/compatibility/3.1-5.0#winhttphandler-removed-from-net-runtime).

### Trailing headers

Starting with version 6.0.0, <xref:System.Net.Http.WinHttpHandler> supports trailing headers, also known as trailers ([RFC 7230 - 4.1.2. Chunked Trailer Part](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-4.1.2)).

- On .NET Standard 2.1 and .NET 8 or later, trailers are added to <xref:System.Net.Http.HttpResponseMessage.TrailingHeaders>.
- On .NET Framework, trailers are added to a well-known property in <xref:System.Net.Http.HttpRequestMessage.Properties?displayProperty=nameWithType> on the request object corresponding to the response (<xref:System.Net.Http.HttpResponseMessage.RequestMessage?displayProperty=nameWithType>). The name of the property is `__ResponseTrailers`, the type of the property value is <xref:System.Net.Http.Headers.HttpHeaders>.

Trailer support is implemented via the `WINHTTP_QUERY_FLAG_TRAILERS` [Query Info Flag](/windows/win32/winhttp/query-info-flags) which has been introduced in Windows 11, version 21H2 (10.0; Build 22000). On Windows systems where `WINHTTP_QUERY_FLAG_TRAILERS` is unsupported, trailers are ignored.
