.Net Core Using Middleware to log http request/responses

With .Net 4.7 I used to log my http request and response conditionally through the help of owin. However with .Net Core, they have a set of awesome middlewares that you can now override and make use of. All you need to do is create a middleware class and register it in the Configure method within the startup.cs

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
     app.UseCors(builder => builder
                .AllowAnyOrigin()
                .AllowAnyMethod()
                .AllowAnyHeader());
     app.UseHttpsRedirection();
     app.UseMiddleware<HttpHandlerMiddleware>();
     app.UseDefaultFiles();
     app.UseStaticFiles();
}

So my middleware code looks like this:
