Environment:
I try to get a "MapPath" path for some dir, but in the WebAPI project "HttpContext.Current" is NULL
How example:
QRID Login
string path = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Some/Path");
Please. Help me!

I am currently using this solution in MVC4 and it's working well:
public static class WebApiConfig { public static string UrlPrefix { get { return "api"; } } public static string UrlPrefixRelative { get { return "~/api"; } }
public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
{
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "DefaultApi",
routeTemplate: WebApiConfig.UrlPrefix + "/{controller}/{id}",
defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);
}
}
public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication { ...
protected void Application_PostAuthorizeRequest()
{
if (IsWebApiRequest())
{
HttpContext.Current.SetSessionStateBehavior(SessionStateBehavior.Required);
}
}
private bool IsWebApiRequest()
{
return HttpContext.Current.Request.AppRelativeCurrentExecutionFilePath.StartsWith(WebApiConfig.UrlPrefixRelative);
}
}
This solution has the added bonus that we can fetch the base URL in javascript for making the AJAX calls:
<body> @RenderBody()
<script type="text/javascript">
var apiBaseUrl = '@Url.Content(ProjectNameSpace.WebApiConfig.UrlPrefixRelative)';
</script>
@RenderSection("scripts", required: false)
and then within our Javascript files/code we can make our webapi calls that can access the session:
$.getJSON(apiBaseUrl + '/MyApi') .done(function (data) { alert('session data received: ' + data.whatever); }) );

I realize session and REST don't exactly go hand in hand but is it not possible to access session state using the new Web API? HttpContext.Current.Session is always null.
