My custom middleware appears to be causing some sort of conflict with my blazor server-side page. The sample middleware in short checks for a bool status and if true redirects to the counter page provided by the out of the box blazor template. Without the middleware inserted into the pipeline the counter page works just fine when you click the button, but once the middleware is placed in the pipeline the button no longer works, as it does not increment the count. I've placed the custom middleware right before the app.UseEndpoints middleware, though it appears it doesn't matter where it's placed, as it doesn't work no matter the order that it's in. Why is my custom middleware breaking the blazor server-side page from functioning properly?
middleware:
class CheckMaintenanceStatusMiddleware
{
private readonly RequestDelegate _next;
public CheckMaintenanceStatusMiddleware(RequestDelegate next)
{
_next = next;
}
public async Task InvokeAsync(HttpContext context)
{
var statusCheck = true;
if(statusCheck && context.Request.Path.Value != "/counter")
{
context.Response.Redirect("/counter");
}
else
{
await _next.Invoke(context);
}
}
}
public static class CheckMaintenanceStatusMiddlewareExtension
{
public static IApplicationBuilder UseCheckMaintenanceStatus(this IApplicationBuilder builder)
{
return builder.UseMiddleware<CheckMaintenanceStatusMiddleware>();
}
}
configure method in Startup file:
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
var connectionString = Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection");
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
app.UseDatabaseErrorPage();
}
else
{
app.UseExceptionHandler("/Error");
// The default HSTS value is 30 days. You may want to change this for production scenarios, see https://aka.ms/aspnetcore-hsts.
app.UseHsts();
}
app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseCookiePolicy();
app.UseRouting();
app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();
app.UseCheckMaintenanceStatus();
app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
endpoints.MapControllers();
endpoints.MapBlazorHub();
endpoints.MapFallbackToPage("/_Host");
});
}
