Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the bug

Hi
The Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.EndpointHttpContextExtensions.GetEndpoint extension method for the HttpContext is not in the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.Abstractions NuGet
Even though the documentation clearly states that it should be in this nuget package:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.aspnetcore.http.endpointhttpcontextextensions.getendpoint?view=aspnetcore-9.0

Do i miss somehting.

Best Regards
Andi

Expected Behavior

Create empty c# libary project.

Include the NuGet Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.Abstractions

Try to use the method ´

		public static void TestStaticContext(HttpContext context)
		{
			context.GetEndpoint();
		}

Compiletime error:
CS1061:
'HttpContext' does not contain a definition for 'GetEndpoint' and no accessible extension method 'GetEndpoint' accepting a first argument of type 'HttpContext' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

The Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.Abstractions NuGet package does contain this API as the latest version is 2.3.0 and GetEndpoint() was introduced in ASP.NET Core 3.0 as documented in the page you linked to.

To consume this API, you should use a framework reference if you are trying to use the API in a class library:

<ItemGroup>
  <FrameworkReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.App" />
</ItemGroup>

The reference is not necessary for web applications using the Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web SDK like below:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">

To be fair, it doesn't clearly document what it's trying to say, but it doesn't say it is in the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.Abstractions NuGet package.

It says it is in the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.Abstractions.dll assembly, which is part of the Microsoft.AspNetCore.App.Ref package.

Assembly: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.Abstractions.dll
Package: Microsoft.AspNetCore.App.Ref v9.0.2
