this check is done to make sure to have no side-effect if under supression. Even without this, TracerProviderSdk drops the activity if under supressions, but this method does propagation. This check prevents every side effect including propagation if under suppression.

I think it was put for redirection cases where a redirect request might already have the context in the headers.

But I don't think the listener callback gets called for redirect cases. I tried this scenario: Call http://google.com from an HttpClient. This results in a 301 redirection to http:www.//google.com. The way HttpHandlerDiagnostics is currently configured, we only see one OnStartActivity and one OnStopActivity method call.

In the OnStartActivity method they request payload has the original Uri: http://google.com whereas in the OnStopActivity method the payload has the redirected Uri: http:www.//google.com. This would mean that we only enter OnStartActivity once for the original HttpRequestOut call. So this logic would not be used for redirects.

I know there were cases when I was working on HttpWebRequest instrumentation where it would re-use the request, but it has been a while so my memory is foggy. I think SSL upgrade/downgrade was one of them? Pretty sure I added a test or two for it. That is for the .NET Framework stuff but posting here because there are probably many similarities with the .NET Core side.

// this request is already instrumented, we should back off
activity.IsAllDataRequested = false;
return;
}

// Propagate context irrespective of sampling decision
var textMapPropagator = Propagators.DefaultTextMapPropagator;

if (!(this.httpClientSupportsW3C && textMapPropagator is TraceContextPropagator))
{
textMapPropagator.Inject(new PropagationContext(activity.Context, Baggage.Current), request, HttpRequestMessageContextPropagation.HeaderValueSetter);
}

try
// enrich Activity from payload only if sampling decision
// is favorable.
