In this post we'll take a previously built custom middleware and finalise the configuration options to it. We'll complete the JSON file which represents the config, and ensure that it's being read and the values are applied to the middleware setup.
In this post we'll take a previously built custom middleware and add configuration options to it. We'll load our config options for the middleware from a JSON file present in the consuming application, and apply it to the middleare
Building on the previous post on ASP.NET Core middleware, I'll show you how to make your own. We'll use OWASP secure header guidelines to create our own middleware which will add the recommended headers to all requests.
What is middleware (in an ASP.NET Core context) and how does it work? Does the ASP.NET Core request pipeline differ to how the Classic ASP.NET request pipeline work? There's only one way to find out: read this article
