This library creates a .net Web Api Handler that creates a System.Web.HTTPContext-alike class. This is useful in self-hosted OWIN(Katana) applications IIS or applications on the Helios host.

Configure your ASP.NET Web API application with this library by putting the following code in your WebApiConfig.Register() method:

config.MessageHandlers.Add(new HttpContextHandler());

Access your user variable everywhere in your code:

HttpContext.Current.User

or your Request variable:

HttpContext.Current.Request

• Create an OWIN-middleware to move the creation of the HttpContext at the OWIN level.
• Write unit tests
