GetRawBody() is returning empty for REST requests

I am trying to write the Raw data of my ServiceStack webservice using servicerunner. This is working for SOAP requests but for the REST request GetRawBody() is returning empty.

public override void BeforeEachRequest(IRequest requestContext, T request)
    {
        Logger.Write(requestContext.GetRawBody());
    }

By default web servers only provide a forward-only Request Stream which you can tell ServiceStack to skip deserialization so you can read from the Request Stream by implementing IRequiresRequestStream on your Request DTO:

public class MyRequest : IRequiresRequestStream
{
    Stream RequestStream { get; set; }
}

Which will inject the Request Stream instead of deserializing the Request DTO, e.g:

public class object Any(MyRequest request)
{
    var requestBody = request.RequestStream.ReadFully().FromUtf8Bytes();
}

Otherwise if you want ServiceStack to deserialize the Request and you want to re-read from the Request Body later yourself you need to tell ServiceStack to buffer the Request using a pre-request filter:

appHost.PreRequestFilters.Add((httpReq, httpRes) => {
    httpReq.UseBufferedStream = true;
});
