    Web API should be RESTful, but I need to authenticate the calls. Anyone can send REST calls from their browser to my server and I have to make sure that they are logged in (have a sesson cookie) and that they have access to the object they try to read and write to.

    I have followed the steps in this article:

      https://www.strathweb.com/2012/11/adding-session-support-to-asp-net-web-api/

    It works well for GET calls. But I still don't get any information about session or context in POST and PATCH calls. In fact I find that:

       HttpContext.Current == NULL

    How to solve?

    ( I can't believe this isn't a major issue for anyone dealing with REST calls and login-protected data.)

    Hi Vilhelm,

    This forum discusses and asks questions about .NET Framework Base Classes, since your issue is more related asp.net web api, I would suggest that you could post your issue on asp.net web api forum for suitable support.
