How to make per- http Request cache in ASP.NET 3.5

We using ASP.NET 3.5 (Controls-based approach) and need to have storage specific for one http request only.

Thread-specific cache with keys from session id won't work because threads are supposed to be pooled and therefore I have a chance to have data from some previous request in cache, which is undesirable in my case. I always need to have b开发者_开发问答rand new storage for each request available through whole request.

Any ideas how to do it in ASP.NET 3.5?

We have used HttpContext.Current.Items collection to do RequestScope caching. It works well.

just to clarify what ggonsalv was referring to

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.httpcontext.items.aspx

HttpContext.Items["key"] = value;

UPDATE: the mvc specific version

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.mvc.controller.httpcontext(v=VS.100).aspx

How about using the Context collection. This allows data to be shared between all your controls but only lasts for the request.

Use it like this context.Items("base_url") = "default.aspx"
