Embodiments allow developers to use HTTP message abstractions inline within their Web API methods to directly access and manipulate HTTP request and response messages. A hosting layer is provided for in-process, in-memory and network-based services. Message handlers and operational handlers may be combined to create a message channel for asynchronous manipulations of the HTTP requests and response. A formatter may be used on the server or client for consuming HTTP and providing desired media types.
