Question

I have a web application the relies heavily on web services. Everything with the services is done asynchronously and with AddOnPreRequestHandlerExecuteAsync. Anyhow, most of my calls work just fine, but some are returning from their asynchronous service calls to find a null HttpContext.Current.Response/Request object in the endprerequest, which of course errors the instant I try to use either. Both objects (Response and Request are available/not null on beginprerequest of failing calls and work in the endprerequest of other calls).

Anyone run into similar, or have a guess as to what might be the problem?

Update: Seem to have found a solution, if I create a variable for the HttpApplication on Init(of the HttpModule this all occurs in) the HttpContext can be accessed from that variable.

Update: Passing either HttpApplication or HttpContext.Current on the begin function has the same issue. When passed as part of the “State” of the asynchronous call, they end up null in the end function, even though they are valid in the begin function.

Update: I’ve added some logging and found that the Asynchronous call I am making is returning correctly, the results are there, the callback function is invoked properly.
