title: Getting the raw Request in ASP.NET MVC
body: <p>I need to get the raw request string. Below is an example of the http request sent to the Controller. Actually, I need Post data (last line). How can I get that?</p>
  
  <p>Notice that I don't want to use the automatic JSON model binder. Actually, I need the raw JSON text</p>
  
  <pre><code>POST http://www.anUrl.com/CustomExport/Unscheduled HTTP/1.1

  {"runId":"1","fileDate":"8/20/2012","orderStartMinDate":"10/02/2012","orderStartMaxDate":"10/02/2012"}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This last line is what I need. This doesn't come in</p>
  
  <pre><code>var input = new StreamReader(Request.InputStream).ReadToEnd();
  </code></pre>
