SessionContext

Represents request metadata captured for the current HTTP request. AddActionFilters registers the package action filter that stores a SessionContext in HttpContext.Items before controller actions run.

Use this record when application code needs a lightweight view of the caller's IP address and raw User-Agent header. GetSessionContext returns the stored value when it exists and creates a fallback value from the current HttpContext when the filter has not populated one yet.

Usage

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using AlmightyShogun.AspNet.Utils;

[ApiController]
[Route("session")]
public sealed class SessionController : ControllerBase
{
    [HttpGet]
    public ActionResult<SessionContext> Get()
        => HttpContext.GetSessionContext();
}

Returns

A request metadata record containing the client IP address, raw User-Agent value, and HttpContext.Items key.
