MsalCacheHelper.CreateAsync throws HttpRequestException when offline

[FreddyDgh]

Desired behavior
I would like to be able to read the accounts from the cache, even when the user does not have an internet connection. It is my understanding that this functionality works when using MSAL with token caches on other platforms. Is there any reason offline functionality should not be possible with the token cache provided in this repo?

Actual behavior
When I call MsalCacheHelper.CreateAsync, it throws a HttpRequestException with the message No such host is known.

Miscellaneous

• The app I am using is a .NET 5.0 WPF app.
• I am using version 2.16.7 of Microsoft.Identity.Client.Extensions.Msal

What is your authority?

This is a valid bug, generally MSAL is able to perform GetAccount offline. As long as you connect to some known clouds, this should work offline. MSAL needs to go online if the are tokens in the cache for authorities it does not recognize.
