You are right, I would imagine that scenario might occur, and I suppose could be solved with a lock().

Hi Steve, nice article. I have a question though about this bit of code:

// If it's not in the cache, we need to read it from the repository if (vehicleData == null) { .... } return vehicleData;

What happens if the item expires from the cache after the null check? Should there be a lock() somewhere in there? Thanks, jus’ wondering

How about doing this using IHttpModule as described here:

Steve - great article it has been helpful. One question - why did you choose to override 'OnActionExecuting' as opposed to 'OnAuthorization' as many of the other examples doing Basic Authentication with Web API have done? Just curious if there was an explicit reason or advantage. You can see the following SO post for a description of both: asp.net mvc difference between OnAuthorization and OnActionExecuting

Thanks for this article. Very useful for my implementation.

The only addition I would add is that in the BasicAuthenticationAttribute, when the authorisation header is null, you should return the WWW-Authenticate header so the client knows to send the authentication header.
