The “Request is not available in this context” exception is one of the more common errors you may receive on when moving ASP.NET applications to Integrated mode on IIS 7.0. This exception happens in your implementation of the Application_Start method in the global.asax file if you attempt to access the HttpContext of the request that started the application.
Update: We recently launched a service that significantly helps you understand, troubleshoot, and improve IIS and ASP.NET web applications. If you regularly troubleshoot IIS errors, manage Windows Servers, or tune ASP.NET performance, definitely check out the demo at www.leansentry.com.
The error looks something like this:
Server Error in ‘/’ Application.
Request is not available in this context
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Web.HttpException: Request is not available in this context
Source Error:
Line 3: { Line 4: HttpContext context = HttpContext.Current; Line 5: String appPath = context.Request.ApplicationPath; Line 6: } Line 7: </script> |
Source File: c:inetpubwwwrootglobal.asax Line: 5
Stack Trace:
[HttpException (0x80004005): Request is not available in this context] System.Web.HttpContext.get_Request() +3467061 ASP.global_asax.Application_Start(Object source, EventArgs e) in c:inetpubwwwrootglobal.asax:5 [HttpException (0x80004005): Request is not available in this context] System.Web.HttpApplicationFactory.EnsureAppStartCalledForIntegratedMode(HttpContext context, HttpApplication app) +3388766 … |
This error is due to a design change in the IIS7 Integrated pipeline that makes the request context unavailable in Application_Start event. When using the Classic mode (the only mode when running on previous versions of IIS), the request context used to be available, even though the Application_Start event has always been intended as a global and request-agnostic event in the application lifetime. Despite this, because ASP.NET applications were always started by the first request to the app, it used to be possible to get to the request context through the static HttpContext.Current field.
Applications have taken a dependency on this behavior become broken in Integrated mode, which officially decouples Application_Start from the request that starts the application. In the future, we may introduce changes that will further break the assumption that applications start because of requests – for example, by introducing a warmup mechanism that can start ASP.NET applications based on a specific schedule.
So, what does this mean to you?
Basically, if you happen to be accessing the request context in Application_Start, you have two choices:
- Change your application code to not use the request context (recommended).
- Move the application to Classic mode (NOT recommended).
In fact, most of the customers I have spoken to realize that they do not need to access the request context in Application_Start. Because this event is intended for global initialization activities, any logic that references a specific request is typically a design oversight.
In these cases, it should be trivial to remove any reference to HttpContext.Current from the Application_Start method.
A common example of this is using the HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath to get to the application’s root virtual path. This should become HttpRuntime.AppDomainAppVirtualPath. Voila, no need to use the request!
In the cases where you do need to access the request information for the first request to the application (I have seen VERY few applications where this is the case), you can use a workaround that moves your first-request initialization from Application_Start to BeginRequest and performs the request-specific initialization on the first request.
Here is an example of how to do that in your global.asax (you can also do it in a module):
void Application_BeginRequest(Object source, EventArgs e)
{
HttpApplication app = (HttpApplication)source;
HttpContext context = app.Context;
// Attempt to peform first request initialization
FirstRequestInitialization.Initialize(context);
}
classFirstRequestInitialization
{
privatestaticbool s_InitializedAlready = false;
privatestaticObject s_lock = newObject();
// Initialize only on the first request
publicstaticvoid Initialize(HttpContext context)
{
if (s_InitializedAlready)
{
return;
}
lock (s_lock)
{
if (s_InitializedAlready)
{
return;
}
// Perform first-request initialization here …
s_InitializedAlready = true;
}
}
}
This code attempts to initialize at the beginning of each request, with only the first request performing the initialization (hence, first request initialization J). Note that the lock is necessary to insure correct behavior in the case where multiple requests arrive to your application near simultaneously (don’t lock around type objects, since this may lock multiple appdomains – see Rico’s post).
With this issue out of the way, you should be able to enjoy the benefits of Integrated mode on IIS7 without much other grief. For more info on ASP.NET Integrated mode and how to take advantage of it, be sure to check out http://www.iis.net/articles/view.aspx/IIS7/Extending-IIS7/Getting-Started/How-to-Take-Advantage-of-the-IIS7-Integrated-Pipel.

Hi maybe this could help someone. I installed VS2008 and .NET 3.5 and my nice CMS stopped working with this error. All I did to get going was change the DefaultAppPool setting to Classic App Pool settings and bingo all fixed
Mike Volodarsky
Hi Mike,
As I mentioned in this post, this breaking change is specific to Integrated mode (like most other breaking changes), and so you can work around it by placing the application in Classic mode.
However, we recommend that if possible, you try to fix the underlying error and remain in Integrated mode as it provides a better migration path long term.

I just ran into this problem in trying to move to IIS 7. My problem is that the HttpContext.Request property is throwing an exception instead of just returning null. We are doing logging in this method and our logging framework looks at the HttpContext.Current.Request property for info to log. If this is null, nothing is logged. Throwing an exception makes us have to wrap this code in a try/catch block. Definitely not ideal. Is there a way to check to see if accessing the Request property will thrown an exception before accessing it?
Mike Volodarsky
Bob,
The reason we throw this exception is specifically so that you dont try to access the Request in App_Start, because the request is not available there. The idea is that you just shouldnt do it – there is no reason to check it for null since you know it is not available there.
Now, in other pipeline events, the request is always available, so you shouldnt need to check it for being null.
Thanks,
Mike

If I am not mistaken the actual corresponding property for HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath would be HttpRuntime.AppDomainAppVirtualPath
Mike Volodarsky
Hi Alexander,
You are right, it is AppDomainAppVirtualPath, AppDomainAppPath returns a physical path corresponding to the app’s root vdir. Thanks for pointing out the typo!

Hi,
If I understand well, some guy modified the way the HttpContext.Current works in order to make sure people do not use it while within the application_start event.
Yes. Right. I could understand that, from the design point of view.
I have a problem, however, with the way this was implemented, ie. by throwing an exception.
I have an example of how people might really get impacted by this.
I have a logging component, which was designed years ago from now, and which is used in a dozen applications, either desktop or web based.
This component outputs the logs in a standardised format for all products sold by the company I used to work with.
One of the strengths of this logging component is that it was able to detect whether specific contexts were available or not. For example, if the httpcontext was available, the logging facility would extract the IP address from which the request originated. The same applied to the referrer and user-agent information.
The check was rather simple and clearly understandable to the other developers who used this component. The code looked like this, in a very simplified view:
if(ComesFromWebApp())
{
if(HttpContext.Current != null)
{
ExtractContextInformation();
}
}
What was actually done is preventing developers from writing a transparent way of finding context related information when it becomes available.
Developers can’t use a simple but effective “if not null” check anymore, just because some guy simply decided that no one should ever ask this question.
I am not questioning the skills, experience or ability required to take such decisions. However, I would appreciate understanding how exactly they could came to deciding that asking if “something” exists before actually using it should trigger an exception.
If I follow that vision, I should somehow expect that the excerpt below:
int a = 12;
if(a != null)
{
say(“hello world!”);
}
might someday trigger an exception “Integers not available in this context” because some guy decided that no one should ask the existence of Integers within the main() method.
I understand and agree with what they meant by giving no context while in the ApplicationStart phase.
However, many developers didn’t wait for them to understand this, and already implemented the necessary tests long ago. That decision broke these developers work.
Let’s hope these people are not working on the Reflection classes…a lot of things might get hurt 🙂
(thanks for your post anyway, I got an answer to what I was looking for!)

Srinivas,
As I mention in this post, moving to Classic mode is an option – but not a recommended one. Classic mode is a backwards compatibility mode that does not take advantage of current and future capabilities in the Integrated mode platform, and may be deprecated in a future release.
If at all possible, developers should take advantage of the Integrated mode by making the appropriate changes to their application.
Thanks,
Mike
Mike Volodarsky
Antonio,
I understand your concern. Unfortunately, from working with many customers and applications we saw that returning nul had the unintended effect, causing applications to behave incorrectly without a clear way to discover the problem.
When building platform software, it is often necessary to make tradeoffs between backwards compatible behavior and moving developers to new behavior. In IIS 7.0, we did both – we offer Classic mode for applications that are unwilling or unable to take the changes needed to move to Integrated mode, and Integrated mode for those that are willing to use the new patterns (minimal) to receive the benefit.
Precisely because of this, we were able to avoid compromising the Integrated mode platform with backward compatibility hacks. Instead, we offer a platform that is 99% compatible and that makes the right changes needed to provide the correct experience going forward. If you are in that 1%, go with Classic mode.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi,
I had this exact problem and changed as per the recommendation to use (Web.HttpRuntime.AppDomainAppVirtualPath). But since doing so I now get and ‘Access Denied’ error and I’m not 100% sure why when it worked just fine previously. The only change that has happened is that I’m now using a vista 64bit machine with IIS7 on it, but the same code with VS2008.
Any ideas?
thx.
Mike Volodarsky
Hi Frost,
The issues you are having most likely have nothing to do with the code change, and everything with being deployed in a new environment.
I would recommend getting the full exception details and looking at what is causing the access denied error – most likely incorrectly configured permissions for the application.
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for the response and you were right. The issue was with IIS7 and the configuration of it. I had to set the Authentication to “windows authentication” enabled. That solved the issue.

Hi Mike,
We have a web application that is deployed in multiple environments, and web.config contains several configuration elements that are keyed on the host name of where the instance is deployed (e.g. “dev.company.com”, “prod.company.com”, etc).
The settings need to be read at application start time, and previously we just called “HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host” to get the host name where the running app is deployed.
Any idea how to get the URL on application startup without using HttpContext? Or do I need to start rethinking the configuration design?
Thanks,
Vlad

Hi Vlad,
You’ll need to move to the “first request initialization” pattern, see this post for details/code sample.

What’s the equivalent property for Context.Request.Url ?

Great article, I was wondering what you would do in the situation where need to kick start the sqldependency cache which is in Application_Start:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDependency.Start(“connectionstring”);
The SQL server may be down or something thus this will cause an exception, so to catch it you would use Application_Error but now you have the problem where you can’t use Response.Redirect or Server.Transfer because they aren’t available so how would you handle the error?

Mike –
Great work.
Wonder if the System.Web.Management.WebErrorEvent type can be updated. When you WebErrorEvent.Raise during Application_Start, you get HttpException out of WebErrorEvent.InitRequestInformation.
There are cases where we need to use Health Monitoring to raise Errors in our Application Start code. Our application has no code that assumes it has a Request during Application_Start, but System.Web.Management does!
As it stands, we have to trick it by assigning null to HttpContext.Current prior to triggering an Event-Raising condition.
Seems to me that it’s a defect in System.Web.Management. I do not see a way, though, to tell that you are inside Application_Start. Perhaps that ‘state’ does exist on some internal class; certainly you can leverage HttpRuntime.UsingIntegratedPipeline.
Any hope of System.Web.Management being updated?
Mike Volodarsky
Hi Howard,
I’ll forward the request over to the ASP.NET team, although you might want to create a bug report on the connect website. I agree that it is a bug.
In the meantime, you can try a workaround of creating a custom event that derives from WebBaseEvent that carries your error information, without attempting to capture request information (you can also manually do this yourself if the context is available, if you want).
You can then add health monitoring rules for your custom event to route to the same source as the request errors.
Thanks,
Mike

Anonymous
Is there a chance this behavior will be changed? There are several disadvantages, currently, and a much better alternative.
You suggest that one simply shouldn't use .Request in Application_Start, however, this isn't actually that easy. Howard mentions a case where System.Web.Management uses the property. However, any other code could just as easily trigger this problem – should everything else be updated?
You also suggest that in all other cases, Request is just available, so you shouldn't need to "check" whether it's there or not – but the point is, code reuse is nice, and the current approach means that there can be no code sharing between Start and other events even if the Request related code is trivial. If, rather than throwing an exception, null were returned, this problem wouldn't exist: checking for null is much cleaner (and cheaper) than catching an exception and ignoring it.
Right now, any application logging I do consists of many try..catch statements surrounding just one statement where the caught exception is ignored. This isn't in good style; in particular it teaches people that it's good practice to ignore exceptions, when in fact doing so involves significant performance penalty (which in other contexts may be problematic), and worse, ignores the fact that in a truly exceptional situation, the object throwing the exception may well not be in a valid state.
The current approach is also inconsistent with the rest of the API. Whereas HttpContext.Current returns null when there is no current HttpContext, .Request throws an exception?
There's simply no good reason to throw an exception rather than return null in this case. If you return null, sane code which does rely on HttpContext being present at all (as would be required for the code to work during Session_End) might just work, and logging code could reasonably check wether the request is present. Code which truly uses .Request in an invalid state will cause a nullreference exception.
But whatever you do, please document it:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.httpcontext.request.aspx
The current behaviour isn't ideal, but the worst of it is that it's undocumented – that makes code using HttpContext generally less reliable.
Mike Volodarsky
Hi Eamon,
I understand your perspective – however, at the time our priority was to clearly identify any breaking changes in Integrated mode to help its adoption. Its more discoverable for most people to receive this exception message than track down a NullRef or a code behavior chage.
I agree that this is not ideal for code that is called from other request events.
Also agree that it should be documented, and suprised it not. I am not at Microsoft anymore, but you can get a response from the IIS team by posting on forums.iis.net or filing a bug on connect.
Thanks,
Mike

Is there a way to find out the http:// address and port of the server that hosts the site? I know this sounds odd, but I am running WCF services and they run on multiple sites. I dont want to configure this in the web.config but rather initialize the WCF service with the server and its port its published on. The HttpRuntime does not provide any information about this. I was using Context.Request.Url.Authority …what is the integrated pipeline equivalent?

Wouldn’t it make more sense to put your code workaround for accessing the HttpContext.Current.Request object in the first request into the void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)?
You do your same check to initialize whatever you’re initializing only once, but being in the session start, it will be checked less frequently than the begin request. Or is this simple check negligible to be in either?

Fixing the mapping to the path was fine but in one case I have something like

Dim tRequest As HttpRequest = tContext.Request
tClient = tRequest.UserHostAddress
tUrl = tRequest.RawUrl
End If
How can I get the UserHostAddress and RaUrl without the request 🙁

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the workaround provided. Reading through the comments above, however, I must admit, I liked antonio’s opinion. HttpContext.Request was returning null and it was an expected behavior for ages.
Anyway, if I’m gonna support both modes, if it’s a good idea to perform checking the following way, rather than using try-catch?
if (sender is HttpApplication) // IIS7 Integrated mode (?)
{
// use the workaround provided
}
else // IIS5/6 or IIS7 Classic mode (?)
{
// go “classic” way

Hi, and thanks for the explanation.
I am one of those getting this error (though not via Application_Start)
I understand that Request is not always available in an Application event, but here is my problem:
What I really need is to collect ApplicationPath.
I need it in my LogWriter class which logs (does tracing) for an HttpModule and is called from all event handlers including Init handler.
My first complaint is that ApplicationPath is not available in neither Application nor ApplicationInstance.
You have to reach for the Request to get it and as you pointed out it is not always there.
My second complaint is that you did not provide a way to check if the Request is there or not.
Sure I can do a try catch, but that seems excessive and I have this in a pretty sensitive part of the code performance wise.
I think a much more sensible strategy would be to return null.

I know there’s nothing you can do about it now. But, thanks for giving me a place to complain. “Just don’t attempt to use Request in Application_Start” is not trivial if you’re in code that doesn’t know it’s in Application_Start. Mutli-situation logging code is my example. too, but it’s not the only time I’ve encountered this since we switched to integrated mode. “null” is the value you use for not available, not throwing an exception. I can’t believe you didn’t implement any way whatsoever to check availability of Request.
