httpClient

httpClient is an instance of HttpClient used for making HTTP requests to external services. This property is configurable and allows customization of the HTTP client settings, such as connection timeouts, headers, and other HTTP-specific configurations.

In the context of the containing class, it integrates with the provided timeout configuration and base URL setup to facilitate requests, typically to the Google Generative Language API.

This property acts as the base client for APIs and can be overridden or modified as needed to suit specific requirements in HTTP communication or integration scenarios.
