SLIDE-2

  • In ASP.NET Core, MiddlewareS are C# classes that can handle an HTTP request or response. Middleware can either:

    • Handle an incoming HTTP request by generating an HTTP response.
    • Process an incoming HTTP request, modify it, and pass it on to another piece of middleware.
    • Process an outgoing HTTP response, modify it, and pass it on to either another piece of middleware, or the ASP.NET Core web server.
