Describe the bug

WireMock AspNetCore Middleware works great when a request is sent from within a request thread, but if a request is sent from a background service it throws this exception:

System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter '_httpContextAccessor.HttpContext')
   at Stef.Validation.Guard.NotNull[T](T value, String parameterName)
   at WireMock.Net.AspNetCore.Middleware.HttpDelegatingHandler.WireMockDelegationHandler.SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
   at Microsoft.Extensions.Http.Logging.LoggingScopeHttpMessageHandler.<SendCoreAsync>g__Core|5_0(HttpRequestMessage request, Boolean useAsync, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
   at System.Net.Http.HttpClient.<SendAsync>g__Core|83_0(HttpRequestMessage request, HttpCompletionOption completionOption, CancellationTokenSource cts, Boolean disposeCts, CancellationTokenSource pendingRequestsCts, CancellationToken originalCancellationToken)

What is happening is that HttpContext is not available in a hosted service, it is a nullable property of IHttpContextAccessor since it is not always guaranteed to be available.

Expected behavior:

It should be possible to make http requests in a background service while WireMock Middleware is enabled.

Additionally it should be possbile to mock requests coming from a background service.

Test to reproduce

  • Enable WireMock AspNetCore Middleware with AddWireMockService
  • Make any http request in a hosted service
  • Oberve that ArgumentNullException is thrown from HttpClient

Other related info

I created a PR #1285 with a test that reproduces this bug and a proposed solution.
