WHAT IS OWIN?

OWIN defines a standard interface between .NET web servers and web applications.

The goal of the OWIN interface is to decouple server and application, encourage the development of simple modules for .NET web development, and, by being an open standard, stimulate the open source ecosystem of .NET web development tools.

TERMINOLOGY

Actors Environment AppFunc

ACTORS

Host: The process an application and server execute inside of, primarily responsible for application startup.

Example: Self-host, Nowin, IIS

http://owin.org/spec/owin-1.0.0.html

ACTORS

http://owin.org/spec/owin-1.0.0.html

Server: The HTTP server that directly communicates with the client and then uses OWIN semantics to process requests.

Examples: SystemWeb, Self-Host, Nowin

Host: The process an application and server execute inside of, primarily responsible for application startup.

Example: Self-host, Nowin, IIS

ACTORS

Middleware: A pass through component that handles cross cutting concerns. Acts as a pipeline between server and application.

Example: Security stuff

ENVIRONMENT

http://mashable.com/2013/06/13/dictionary-new-words-2013/

ENVIRONMENT

The Environment dictionary stores information about the request, the response, and any relevant server state.

The server is responsible for providing body streams and header collections for both the request and response in the initial call.

The application then populates the appropriate fields with response data, writes the response body, and returns when done.

APPFUNC – THE APPLICATION DELEGATE

APPFUNC – THE APPLICATION DELEGATE

using AppFunc = Func<IDictionary<string, object>, // Environment

Task>; // Done

WEB API 2.2

Full OWIN support

Attribute routing

Global error handling

Multiple OData improvements
