How to get HttpRequest body in .net core?

I want to get Http Request body in .net core , I used this code:

using (var reader
    = new StreamReader(req.Body, Encoding.UTF8))
{
    bodyStr = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
req.Body.Position = 0

But I got this error:

System.ObjectDisposedException: Cannot access a disposed object. Object name: 'FileBufferingReadStream'.

An error occurs after the using statement of the line

How to get HttpRequest Body in .net core? and how to fix this error?

use this extension method to get httpRequest Body:

   public static string GetRawBodyString(this HttpContext httpContext, Encoding encoding)
    {
        var body = "";
        if (httpContext.Request.ContentLength == null || !(httpContext.Request.ContentLength > 0) ||
            !httpContext.Request.Body.CanSeek) return body;
        httpContext.Request.EnableRewind();
        httpContext.Request.Body.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
        using (var reader = new StreamReader(httpContext.Request.Body, encoding, true, 1024, true))
        {
            body = reader.ReadToEnd();
        }
        httpContext.Request.Body.Position = 0;
        return body;
    }

The important thing is that HttpRequest.Body is a Stream type And when the StreamReader is disposed, HttpRequest.Body is also disposed.

I had this problem until I found the below link in GitHub: Refer to the below link and the GetBody method https://github.com/devdigital/IdentityServer4TestServer/blob/3eaf72f9e1f7086b5cfacb5ecc8b1854ad3c496c/Source/IdentityServer4TestServer/Token/TokenCreationMiddleware.cs

Simple workaround:

using (var content = new StreamContent(Request.Body))
{
     var contentString = await content.ReadAsStringAsync();
}

Please review answer by Stephen Wilkinson

Use the following for .NET Core 3.1

Startup.cs

app.Use((context, next) =>
{
    context.Request.EnableBuffering(); // calls EnableRewind() `https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/blob/4ef204e13b88c0734e0e94a1cc4c0ef05f40849e/src/Http/Http/src/Extensions/HttpRequestRewindExtensions.cs#L23`
    return next();
});

You should then be able to rewind as per other answers:

httpContext.Request.Body.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);

The accepted answer did not work for me, but I was reading the body twice.

    public static string ReadRequestBody(this HttpRequest request, Encoding encoding)
    {
        var body = "";
        request.EnableRewind();

        if (request.ContentLength == null ||
            !(request.ContentLength > 0) ||
            !request.Body.CanSeek)
        {
            return body;
        }

        request.Body.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);

        using (var reader = new StreamReader(request.Body, encoding, true, 1024, true))
        {
            body = reader.ReadToEnd();
        }

        //Reset the stream so data is not lost
        request.Body.Position = 0;

        return body;
    }
