To add to Hans' answer:

WebRequestHandler derives from HttpClientHandler but adds properties that generally only are available on full .NET. The WebRequestHandler is not included in the System.Net.Http DLL but rather in System.Net.Http.WebRequest DLL so you have to explicitly include that as a reference in order to see it. Otherwise it won’t show up.

You can just spring for HttpClientHandler if you don't want to add new DLLs:

    HttpClientHandler clientHandler = new HttpClientHandler();
    clientHandler.AllowAutoRedirect = false;
