Proper way to retrieve the Request.Content from global error handler - error-handling

Question

I have register a global exception handler, and it fires and contains all of the information I need with the exception of the Request.Content which is always empty... I need the values that were passed in when I am debugging...
Public class MyExceptionLogger : ExceptionLogger
{
public override void Log(ExceptionLoggerContext context)
{
try
{
... other code
var methodName = context.Request.Method.ToString();
var errorUri = context.Request.RequestUri.ToString();
var errorMessage = context.Exception.Message;
var errorStackTrace = context.Exception.StackTrace.ToString();
var payload = context.Request.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
..... other code
}
}
}
What is the proper way to retrieve the Request.Content from global error handler ? In the code above the Content property has already been read by the model binders and as such is always empty.
How can I consistently get the posted body from an exception ?
Should I retrieve and save the posted body in a custom MessageHandler ?
Thanks

In experimenting with reading the buffer of the request.Content in a custom message handler.. It appears that if I read it with this code:
var payload = context.Request.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
and do NOTHING with it... The buffer will not be emptied when the model binders read it, because its always there in my exception logger now... I don't know if this is by design or what but its exasperating !
