The concept of Middleware is not new !

How will you -• Modify request headers ?• Add a response header to responses ?• Validate requests before they reach the controller ?• Log the incoming requests and the outgoing responses ?

Built-in message handler in WebApi

Writing Custom Handler

Three simple steps :1.Inherit from DelegatingHandler2.Override the send async method3.Put it on the pipeline(Register your

handler)

Step 1 & 2 public class MessageHandler1 : DelegatingHandler{     protected async override Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)    { var response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK)    {     Content = new StringContent(“Inside MessageHandler1")    };         var tsc = new TaskCompletionSource<HttpResponseMessage>();         tsc.SetResult(response);         return await tsc.Task;    }}

Step 3: Registering Handler

public static class WebApiConfig{ public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config) { config.MessageHandlers.Add(new MessageHandler1());

// Code Excerpt }}

Calls base.SendAsync() to pass the request to the inner message handler.
