today i encountered a strange behavior in my Web Api application
protected void Application_Start() {
FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration
.MessageHandlers.Add(new DummyMessageHandler());
}
And my DelegatingHandler looks like this.
public class DummyMessageHandler : DelegatingHandler {
protected override Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync(
HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken) {
* if (request.Headers.Authorization.Scheme == "Basic")
Thread.CurrentPrincipal = new GenericPrincipal(
new GenericIdentity("Authenticated"), new string[0]);
return base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);
}
}
The problem I encountered was that the delegating handlers are not being executed. I have a breakpoint in the line marked with a * and the execution of my code never stops there.
My nuget packages.config is the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<packages>
<package id="Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc" version="4.0.20710.0" targetFramework="net40" />

</packages>
I'm looking at this for a long time, can you point me to something I am missing ? Thank you
