catch all incoming request to asp.net mvc controllers

Question

Is there any way to catch all incoming requests to controllers without using ActionFilter's before handling requests by asp.net?

Answer 1

in your Startup.cs file place this code into the Configure() method:

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
{
    if (env.IsDevelopment())
    {
        app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
    }

    app.UseMvc();

    //your code below
    app.Run(async (context) =>
    {
        string body;
        using (Stream receiveStream = context.Request.Body)
        {
            using (StreamReader readStream = new StreamReader(receiveStream, Encoding.UTF8))
            {
                body = readStream.ReadToEnd();
            }
        }
        Console.WriteLine(body.ToString());
    });


}

then pls note the app.UseMvc() always has a priority, meaning any route specified in your app goes to the controller only. so either specify another route, or dont work with routes in your MVC but instead place your routing into the interception within app.Run(async (context)
