Raw request body as string

[nojaf]

Hi,

What is the recommended way to read the request body as a raw string?

Gippety proposed this snippet:

let readRequestBodyAsync (httpContext: HttpContext) : Task<string> =
    task {
        httpContext.Request.EnableBuffering() // Extension method to enable buffering
        httpContext.Request.Body.Position <- 0L // Reset the stream position

        use reader = new StreamReader(httpContext.Request.Body)
        let! body = reader.ReadToEndAsync() |> Async.AwaitTask

        httpContext.Request.Body.Position <- 0L // Reset for any subsequent use
        return body
    }

This works, but I would assume there is something out of the box in Falco (or ASP.NET Core) to do this.
