HttpClientHandler UseDefaultCredentials in .NET Core

With the following running in a .NET Framework 4.7.2 Console application and some_url pointing to a server in my Windows network that uses Kerberos, I get a HTTP code of 200 back:

var handler = new HttpClientHandler { UseDefaultCredentials = true };
var client = new HttpClient(handler);

var code = client.GetAsync(some_url).Result.StatusCode

but using the same code in a .NET Core 3.1 application gives a 401 instead. This is the same as I get when running in .NET Framework 4.7.2 but not setting UseDefaultCredentials to true, leading me to believe the .NET Core 3.1 version does not pass the credentials along.

What do I need to do to get a .NET Core 3.1 application to pass the current credentials? I've tried playing around with setting the Credentials on the handler to an instance of NetworkCredential but to no avail.

you should change AllowAutoRedirect to false and loop over the response message

HttpResponseMessage httpResponse;
do
{
   httpResponse = await httpClient.GetAsync(uri);
   if (httpResponse.Headers.Contains("Location"))
   {
       //Find the redirection address
        uri = httpResponse.Headers.Location.OriginalString;
   }
   else
   {
       throw new ApplicationException("No Location header found in web response");
   }
 } while (httpResponse.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.Redirect);
