I was reading documentation on StructureMap 4X web site pertaining to Nested Containers and ran across this bit of history, “The original use case and impetus for building this feature was a simplistic message handling system that dequeued messages from a Sql Server table (please forget for a second the wisdom of using Sql Server as a queueing system).” “Nested Containers (Per Request/Transaction) Edit on GitHub…” StructureMap – Nested Containers (Per Request/Transaction).

What is important for me is that our older software uses HTTPContext to manage the lifecycle for the Container scope (Hybrid) of StructureMap container, but the OWIN web host and ASP.NET Core does not have HTTPContext.  “Session and application state in ASP.NET Core.” Microsoft Docs.
