I have an HttpModule that is doing some processing on a request before the web api controller’s action is executed. I’d like to be able to identify what controller/action will be executed by the request so I can examine some attributes that may be set on the controller/action ahead-of-time. How do I discover the controller/action that a particular requst URI will invoke?

In the HttpModule, obviously I can get the RouteData from the RouteTable — how do I use this to find out the type (or preferably methodinfo, or at least method name) of the controller & action that will be invoked?

    An HttpModule is not a place where you should do such stuff. An HttpModule will be executed for every request regardless whether the request will go into the ASP.NET Web API pipeline or not.

    What you need here is a Message Handler which will serve as smilar as an HttpModule for ASP.NET Web API requests.
