Detecting TLS Version used for HttpClient POST or GET calls

Under the hood HttpClient uses internal TlsStream class (as in your example for WebRequest). We just need to find it in another location. Here is an example:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    using (var client = new HttpClient())
    {
        using (var response = client.GetAsync("https://example.com/").Result)
        {
            if (response.Content is StreamContent)
            {
                var webExceptionWrapperStream = GetPrivateField(response.Content, "content");
                var connectStream = GetBasePrivateField(webExceptionWrapperStream, "innerStream");
                var connection = GetPrivateProperty(connectStream, "Connection");
                var tlsStream = GetPrivateProperty(connection, "NetworkStream");
                var state = GetPrivateField(tlsStream, "m_Worker");
                var protocol = (SslProtocols)GetPrivateProperty(state, "SslProtocol");
                Console.WriteLine(protocol);
            }
            else
            {
                // not sure if this is possible
            }
        }
    }
}

private static object GetPrivateProperty(object obj, string property)
{
    return obj.GetType().GetProperty(property, BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).GetValue(obj);
}

private static object GetPrivateField(object obj, string field)
{
    return obj.GetType().GetField(field, BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).GetValue(obj);
}

private static object GetBasePrivateField(object obj, string field)
{
    return obj.GetType().BaseType.GetField(field, BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).GetValue(obj);
}
