Consider putting the admission review on the webhook context

[dprotaso]

    > The use case is that I need to parse again the AdmissionRequest from Request.Body to perform further checks in the validating/mutating phase.

Would it make more sense for the AdmissionRequest go object to be on the context - instead of having the raw request body and parsing it again yourself?

Yes it does. It does not only help to prevent us from parsing the request again, but also helps not to consume the Request.Body bytes when we do so.

hey @dprotaso @elfotografo007 , could you give some pointers to where could I start looking into?
thanks!

First, you can check this PR. Reading the HTTP request body r.Body will consume the bytes and you are not able to read it again afterwards. The PR reads it and sets a copy again in r.Body so it can be read a second time. The purpose of this issue is to make the AdmissionRequest go object to be available in the context cxt for later use.

To accomplish this, you may need to create something similar to ctx = apis.WithHTTPRequest(ctx, r) like ctx = apis.WithAdmissionRequest(ctx, r) to set it and apis.GetAdmissionRequest(ctx) to read it afterwards.

I really don't know about Knative internals so I cannot help you any further than this.

I would also remove apis.WithHTTPRequest - since we would want folks to use these GetAdmissionRequest helper

@elfotografo007 got it .
I gad one naive doubt though - why can't it read for the second time? In the previous PR its mentioned it returns EOF? 🤔

[elfotografo007]

When you read the bytes, they are consumed and gone forever. I mitigated the issue by using a TeeReader that reads the bytes and copies them back so they can be read again. This has a problem that if you read them again and don't copy them back, they are gone.
