I am building a RESTful API with the .net MVC Web API framework, and want to store some user information that comes in for updates/saves.
I am using an authorization attribute that authorizes based on tokens. When a valid token is seen, I want to grab that user's information from the database, and store the user object to be used inside the controller.
Is there an easy way to do this? It looks like in the regular .net MVC you would just store the user in the HttpContext. That seems to no longer exist though.
