How to get raw request body in ASP.NET?

Question

Answer 1

It is important to reset position of InputStream.

var memstream = new MemoryStream();
Request.InputStream.CopyTo(memstream);
Request.InputStream.Position = 0;
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(memstream)) {
    var text = reader.ReadToEnd();
    Debug.WriteLine(text);
}
