DoubleReceive for request body

This feature is experimental including all options and behaviour. It is not guaranteed to work the same way in future releases.

Table of contents:

• Custom types

After that you can receive from a call multiple times and every invocation may return the same instance.

Not every content could be received twice. For example, a stream or a channel can’t be received twice unless option is enabled.

Receiving different types from the same call is not guaranteed to work without but may work in some specific cases. For example, receiving a text after receiving a byte array always works.

When receiveEntireContent is enabled, then receiving different types should always work. Also double receive of a channel or stream works as well. However,receive executes the whole receive pipeline from the beginning so all content transformations and converters are executed every time that may be slower than with the option disabled.

If a custom content transformation is installed (for example, by intercepting receive pipeline), then a transformed value couldn’t be re-received without receiveEntireContent option by default. However it is possible to mark a transformed value object as reusable by specifying option:

• receiveEntireContent When enabled, for every request the whole content will be received and stored as a byte array. This is useful when completely different types need to be received. You also can receive streams and channels. Note that enabling this causes the whole receive pipeline to be executed for every further receive pipeline.
