+## Middleware handlers
+
+The following table describes which middleware handlers are implemented by the HTTP package, and which ones are included by default with any new request adapter.
+
+| Name | Description | C# Support | Go Support | Java Support | TypeScript Support | PHP Support | Python Support |
+| ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- |
+| Authorization | Adds an access token to the request when using a native HTTP client. | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | No |
+| Body Inspection | Allows the client application to inspect the request and response body through the associated options. | No | No | No | No | No | No |
+| Chaos | For testing purposes only. Randomly fails requests to allow testing clients' resilience. | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
+| Headers Inspection | Allows the client application to inspect the request and response headers through the associated options. | Default | Default | Default | Default | Default | Default |
+| Parameters Name Decoding | Decodes query parameter names that were encoded when building the URL because they contained characters not allowed by RFC 6570. | Default | Default | Default | Default | Default | Default |
+| Redirect | Automatically follows Location response headers when a **301** or **302** response status code is received. | Default | Default | Default | Default | Default | Default |
+| Request Compression | Compresses request bodies and retries requests without compression when a **415** response status code is received. | No | Default | No | Default | No | No |
+| Response Decompression | Adds an **Accept-Encoding** request header and decompresses any response body with a **Content-Encoding** response header. | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A |
+| Retry | Automatically retries requests when a **429** or a **503** response status code is received. | Default | Default | Default | Default | Default | Default |
+| Sunset | Logs a warning message with Open Telemetry upon receiving a **Sunset** response header. | No | No | No | No | No | No |
+| Telemetry | Adds an extension point to augment the request with telemetry headers. | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes | No |
+| Uri Replacement | Enables replacement of segments of the request URI before it's sent out. | Default | Yes | Default | Yes | Yes | Default |
+| User Agent | Adds the kiota http library version to the user agent request header. | Default | Default | Default | Default | Default | Default |
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Languages with **N/A** in the response decompression column leverage the native response decompression offered by the HTTP client instead.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Languages with **Default** for the handler support value include the handler by default when creating the request adapter with no additional configuration.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Request body decompression is not enabled by default in ASP.NET Core APIs and needs to be enabled. Find out how to enable it with [Request Decompression in ASP.NET core](/aspnet/core/fundamentals/middleware/request-decompression).
