Convert HttpRequestMessage to HttpRequest

Question

I'm converting ASP.NET web application to MVC Web Api project. One of my methods expects HttpRequest class. However, Web Api controller holds only HttpRequestMessage (this.Request) object. Do you know how I can convert HttpRequestMessage to HttpRequest?

Answer 1

You probably don't need to convert from HttpRequestMessage. There is another way:

var context = new HttpContextWrapper(HttpContext.Current);
HttpRequestBase request = context.Request;
