Question

Assuming I am doing webservice request from the client. The request is made by POST with json parameters.
In the server, Context.Request.RawUrl hold the request url. But what holds the request json data?

I need this property in order to log requests.

Here is the code for the http module:

  public class RequestResponseLoggerModule : IHttpModule
    {
        //private static Logger logger = LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger();

        #region ResponseCaptureStream

        private class ResponseCaptureStream : Stream
        {
            private readonly Stream _streamToCapture;
            private readonly Encoding _responseEncoding;

            public string StreamContent { get; private set; }            

            public ResponseCaptureStream(Stream streamToCapture, Encoding responseEncoding)
            {
                _responseEncoding = responseEncoding;
                _streamToCapture = streamToCapture;
            }

            public override bool CanRead { get { return _streamToCapture.CanRead; } }
            public override bool CanSeek { get { return _streamToCapture.CanSeek; } }
            public override bool CanWrite { get { return _streamToCapture.CanWrite; } }
            public override long Length { get { return _streamToCapture.Length; } }
            public override long Position
            {
                get { return _streamToCapture.Position; }
                set { _streamToCapture.Position = value; }
            }


            public override void Flush()
            {
                _streamToCapture.Flush();
            }           

            public override int Read(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count)
            {
                return _streamToCapture.Read(buffer, offset, count);
            }

            public override long Seek(long offset, SeekOrigin origin)
            {
                return _streamToCapture.Seek(offset, origin);
            }

            public override void SetLength(long value)
            {
                _streamToCapture.SetLength(value);
            }

            public override void Write(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count)
            {
                StreamContent += _responseEncoding.GetString(buffer);
                _streamToCapture.Write(buffer, offset, count);
            }

            public override void Close()
            {
                _streamToCapture.Close();
                base.Close();
            }
        }
