Did you try this in the project file:

<ItemGroup>
  <None Update="http-client.env.json">
    <CopyToPublishDirectory>Never</CopyToPublishDirectory>
  </None>
</ItemGroup>

And you can try setting file properties:

• Right-click on the http-client.env.json file in Solution Explorer.
• Select Properties.
• Set the Copy to Output Directory option to Do not copy.
