Answer 1

I find the following extension methods useful:

    public static HttpContextBase AsBase(this HttpContext context)
    {
        return new HttpContextWrapper(context);
    }

    public static HttpRequestBase AsBase(this HttpRequest context)
    {
        return new HttpRequestWrapper(context);
    }

Usage:

HttpContext.Current.AsBase()
HttpContext.Current.Request.AsBase()
