How can I pass values into MediaTypeFormatter methods?

Question

I have the following MVC TypeFormatter code and I need assistance how to:

• Pass values into this object or reference them from the controller get method

   public class ObjectSomeTypeOfFormatter : MediaTypeFormatter
   {
       public override Task WriteToStreamAsync(Type type, object value, Stream stream, HttpContentHeaders contentHeaders, TransportContext transportContext)
      {    
       // Method that I'm overriding where I need to access some variables defined from controller.
      }
   }

Access the Request object to get the full/relative path but it's not available.

You can get it from HttpContext.Curent.Request and for that you need to have reference to System.Web asembly.
