What is the HTTPContext?

Encapsulates all HTTP-specific information about an individual HTTP request

It has a Dictionary of Items
In particular, we need access to
- User Information
- JSON Web Token

In the next demo, we’ll put some code in place that will give us easy access to the famous HTTP Context.
