Can I find the controller in HttpSys pipeline?

Question

We have services using HttpSys to selfhost a http-listener. We use them to host API's using MVC and implementing our controllers with ControllerBase

Our pipeline looks something like this:

        app.UseMiddleware<LogRequests>();
        app.UseMiddleware<ValidateAuthentication>();
        app.UseMiddleware<FloodingProtector>();
        app.UseMiddleware<AdjustCors>();
        app.UseMiddleware<FilterOutput>();
        app.UseCors("AllowAll");
        app.UseMvc();

The LogRequests is our own middeware, where we log information about the request.

In that middleware I would like to understand which Controller the MVC middleware used to execute the request. The Controller has information about a counter with metrics. I need that information in the LogRequests middleware for updating counters.

Is it possible to get information from the MVC middleware about which Controller was used to execute the request?

Answer 1

There is an Items property on HttpContext which can be used to transport information from a controller back to the pipeline.

That was not usable in my case, as HttpContext is not available in the constructor, which is where I needed it.

Other than that, I don't think there is any good way to send information from Controller to pipeline
