Read the first 6 Middleware & Request Pipeline flashcards as text

  1. Which property of HttpContext gives access to the response body stream?

    Answer: HttpContext.Response.Body

    HttpContext.Response.Body is the stream to which middleware writes the HTTP response body.

  2. What does UseHsts() middleware do?

    Answer: Adds HTTP Strict Transport Security headers

    UseHsts() adds the Strict-Transport-Security response header, instructing browsers to only connect via HTTPS.

  3. What is the purpose of UseResponseCompression() middleware?

    Answer: Compresses HTTP responses to reduce bandwidth

    UseResponseCompression() compresses HTTP responses using Gzip or Brotli to reduce response size and improve performance.

  4. Which interface provides access to middleware-specific features from HttpContext?

    Answer: IFeatureCollection

    HttpContext.Features returns an IFeatureCollection that provides access to server and middleware feature interfaces.

  5. What happens when middleware adds to HttpContext.Items?

    Answer: Data is shared only for the lifetime of the current request

    HttpContext.Items is a dictionary scoped to the current request, allowing middleware and handlers to share data within a single request.

  6. Which method enables response buffering to allow middleware to modify the response body?

    Answer: response.EnableBuffering()

    response.EnableBuffering() replaces the response stream with a seekable buffer, allowing middleware to read and modify the response body.
