Accessing post or get parameters in custom authorization MVC4 Web Api

Question

Is it possible to access post or get parameters via the HttpActionContext object?

I have a set of sensors that loggs data to a web server that provides a REST api.

You can access query string values from your custom authorize attribute by using the following code:

public class ApiAuthorizationFilter : AuthorizeAttribute
{
    protected override void OnAuthorization(AuthorizationContext filterContext)
    {
        var querystring = filterContext.RequestContext.HttpContext.Request.QueryString;
        // Do what you need
    }
}
