Dynamic per-controller HttpConfiguration in ASP.NET Web API
Cause it doesn't have to be done only through attributes
Recently I faced an interesting problem, where we needed to provide controllers with controller-specific configuration – but based on settings only known at runtime.
In Web API, per-controller configuration is a very useful, yet little known feature (aside from a great blog post by Mike Stall), as it allows you to create configuration profiles and assign them to specific controllers.
However it is only supported statically – through attributes, so it cannot be altered at runtime. Let's have a look at how you might be able to hack away at it.
Controller configuration – the classic way
In a traditional per controller configuration, you have to implement an IControllerConfiguration interface as an Attribute and decorate a given controller with it.
For example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
public class JsonOnlyAttribute : Attribute, IControllerConfiguration { public void Initialize(HttpControllerSettings controllerSettings, HttpControllerDescriptor controllerDescriptor) { controllerSettings.Formatters.Clear(); controllerSettings.Formatters.Add(new JsonMediaTypeFormatter()); } } |
What Web API pipeline would do, is that in the HttpControllerDescriptor, the first time a given controller is accessed, it would look for the per controller configuration attributes on it in a private method:
1 |
private static void InvokeAttributesOnControllerType(HttpControllerDescriptor controllerDescriptor, Type type) |
It would then copy the default configuration (pointing to the global HttpConfiguration) and merge its ParameterBindingRules, Services and Formatters with the ones supplied through the custom configuration (or rather, through HttpControllerSettings).
Unfortunately the fact that it's only applicable through an attribute, prevents us from providing this controller-scoped configuration at runtime. You could add attributes at runtime through TypeDescriptor but they would have to be retrieved through it too; Web API reads them through the good old GetCustomAttributes() instead, and that means the config has to be applied at compile time.
Controller configuration – the dynamic way
This is a hacky way, but I feel like it's justifiable. It all comes down to accessing a private constructor of HttpConfiguration – the one that is responsible for merging the old configuration and HttpControllerSettings and producing a controller-scoped configuration.
We could do that through reflection and create a custom extension method. Mind you, we'll cache the config afterwards so we can take the performance hit once.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
public static class HttpConfigurationExtensions { public static HttpConfiguration Copy(this HttpConfiguration configuration, Action<HttpControllerSettings> settings) { var controllerSettings = new HttpControllerSettings(configuration); settings(controllerSettings); var constructor = typeof(HttpConfiguration).GetConstructor(BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance, null, new[] {typeof(HttpConfiguration), typeof(HttpControllerSettings)}, null); var instance = (HttpConfiguration)constructor.Invoke(new object[] {configuration, controllerSettings}); return instance; } } |
In this method we create new instance of HttpControllerSettings and apply the changes provided by the configuring user. Then we invoke a private constructor of HttpConfiguration that creates a configuration object adjusted by the HttpControllerSettings
1 |
private HttpConfiguration(HttpConfiguration configuration, HttpControllerSettings settings) |
Next, we need some interafce/storage to configure the controllers, for example a dummy Dictionary would be enough for this demo:
1 2 3 4 |
public static class ControllerConfig { public static Dictionary<Type, Action<HttpControllerSettings>> Map = new Dictionary<Type, Action<HttpControllerSettings>>(); } |
In the configuration of Web API we could now dynamically add controllers with settings to it. For example, let's imagine TestController should use only JSON, then we simply register that in the mapping:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
var config = new HttpSelfHostConfiguration("http://localhost:999"); config.Routes.MapHttpRoute("API Default", "api/{controller}/{id}", new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }); ControllerConfig.Map.Add(typeof(TestController), settings => { settings.Formatters.Clear(); settings.Formatters.Add(new JsonMediaTypeFormatter()); }); using (var server = new HttpSelfHostServer(config)) { server.OpenAsync().Wait(); Console.WriteLine("Press Enter to quit."); Console.ReadLine(); } |
Of course, this will still not work, because we don't invoke our new configuration extension method anywhere, and that is the last piece to our puzzle – a customized IHttpControllerActivator.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 |
public class PerControllerConfigActivator : IHttpControllerActivator { private static readonly DefaultHttpControllerActivator Default = new DefaultHttpControllerActivator(); private readonly ConcurrentDictionary<Type, HttpConfiguration> _cache = new ConcurrentDictionary<Type, HttpConfiguration>(); public IHttpController Create(HttpRequestMessage request, HttpControllerDescriptor controllerDescriptor, Type controllerType) { HttpConfiguration controllerConfig; if (_cache.TryGetValue(controllerType, out controllerConfig)) { controllerDescriptor.Configuration = controllerConfig; } else if (ControllerConfig.Map.ContainsKey(controllerType)) { controllerDescriptor.Configuration = controllerDescriptor.Configuration.Copy(ControllerConfig.Map[controllerType]); _cache.TryAdd(controllerType, controllerDescriptor.Configuration); } var result = Default.Create(request, controllerDescriptor, controllerType); return result; } } |
What it does is it will check if the per-controller configuration mapping contains an entry for the current controller, and if it does, apply the custom config on the HttpControllerDescriptor. Then it will simply use Web APIs DefaultHttpControllerActivator to create an ApiController instance.
Since we don't want to pay the reflection penalty, we also cache the configuration (we cannot cache ApiController as Web API would error out! they are nto reusable). At this point you may want to implement some logic to invalidate the cache under your own specific conditions or scenarios.
You now need to register the activator:
1 2 3 |
var config = new HttpSelfHostConfiguration("http://localhost:999"); config.Routes.MapHttpRoute("API Default", "api/{controller}/{id}", new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }); config.Services.Replace(typeof(IHttpControllerActivator), new PerControllerConfigActivator()); |
From now on, navigating to TestController will use the config with JSON formatter only. All other controllers, still use the global configuration.
While this is a very hacky way to approach the problem, it does solve a considerable limitation in Web API, and allows you to apply custom configuration at runtime.
This might be something the team would like to look at, and allow more flexible way of applying per-controller configuration, rather than just through attributes.

Roberto Solis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roberto Solis (born 1945) is an armored car robber, convicted murderer and poet. He has more than 30 aliases including Pancho Aguila, a pen name he used in prison while writing poetry.
Solis served 17 years in prison for murdering a security guard during a robbery in 1969.[1][2] He was given parole in 1992.[3] Following his release, he met Heather Tallchief, who became employed by a security company at his urging. In October 1993, following Solis' instructions, Tallchief drove away in an armored vehicle containing $2.5 million.[2][3] The two subsequently went on the run and had a child.[4] Tallchief gave herself up in September 2005, but Solis is still at large.[3]

- While revenue continues to increase nicely, growth is estimated to slow next year.
- Margins remain under pressure, but backing out provisions for loan losses cash flows are rising quickly.
- By laying off 7% of its workforce eBay should see substantial savings.
- eBay's results were solid, as the outlook is weak driven by the headwinds resulting from dollar strength and weakness at the marketplace business.
- PayPal continues to perform well, as the company is cutting costs and aiming to sell the enterprise business unit.
- I like the orientation on shareholder value creation, although I am uncertain how much value can really be created for shareholders.
eBay Q4 2014 Review: Can't Fight The TideWestEnd511 • Sat, Jan. 24
- EBAY's EPS missed on marketplace weakness and 2015 guidance suggest further decline in the marketplace business.
- M&A sentiment will likely drive the stock in the near-term - and I'm switching my view to buy from sell mainly based on a sentiment trade.
- Fundamentally speaking, my preference within the ecommerce place remains BABA.
- While there's a lot to criticize about Amazon.com, there's a specific segment where it keeps on beating eBay.
- And amazingly, this is a very profitable segment to boot.
- I list some of the reasons why Amazon.com is winning there, and explain what eBay could do to negate the advantage.
- Investors have the chance of a lifetime to buy a quality business at a fair price.
- Investors can create a standalone PayPal at a cheap valuation.
- Price target: $75.00.
- New restructuring measures and $2bn buyback program grabbed the headlines yesterday.
- But fundamentals are worrying: Marketplaces grew only 1% in Q4 while PayPal's main metrics deteriorated.
- This report confirms our view that PayPal's volume growth, take rates and margins are at risk.
- We would continue to avoid the stock but would refrain from recommending a Short position due to eBay's speculative appeal.
- EBAY will soon be divesting PayPal, and there are a lot of questions investors should ask before owning the stock long-term.
- These include how EBAY will return capital to shareholders, how free cash flow will perform and whether PayPal can perform well despite Apple Pay's presence.
- Depending on the answer, eBay might just be a good investment.
- The whisper number is $0.88, one cent behind the analysts' estimate.
- eBay has a 60% positive surprise history (having topped the whisper in 37 of the 62 earnings reports for which we have data).
- The overall average post earnings price move is 'as expected' (beat the whisper number and see strength, miss and see weakness) when the company reports earnings.
- eBay will report 4Q14 on Wednesday after market closes.
- Marketplace could continue to see deteriorating fundamentals while PayPal may be the only growth area.
- Look for details of spinoff (ie. synergy, relationship, capital allocation).
- Though we expect eBay's payments division PayPal to report strong growth, its marketplaces segment is likely to show sub-par growth.
- This, in all likelihood, could be due to the continued impact of the security breach and changes in the Google SEO algorithm.
- We also expect eBay to face profitability pressure during the fourth quarter due to a surge in sales and marketing expenses to curb the fall in traffic on eBay's marketplaces.
- After the PayPal spinoff, investors will have shares in both eBay - the parent company with key competitive advantages - and its high growth spinoff business.
- eBay provides a secure global marketplace, an essential competitive advantage in e-commerce, which provides a stable support for future growth.
- As a publicly traded company, PayPal will have greater flexibility to widen its economic moat and capitalize tailwinds.
- Certain elements to watch out for are moves from competition and the extent to which these could negatively affect revenue growth for both eBay and PayPal.
- There are many obvious reasons why Alibaba might be interested in acquiring eBay.
- However, there is an additional reason that is probably worth more than those obvious reasons, and could drive Alibaba even more toward such a deal.
- In fact, this additional reason guarantees a massive advantage for a combined eBay-Alibaba entity in the very area which affects eCommerce most - shipping costs.
- Post PayPal, eBay will still be an attractive company.
- Results from recent quarter show a growing business, even without PayPal.
- eBay minus PayPal brings company to Blue Chip status.
- PayPal holds more growth potential than the marketplace side of eBay.
- PayPal could see major growth if it gets access to upward trends in mobile payments and other emerging markets.
- PayPal will be challenged by Apple Pay and Google Wallet in mobile and will face other regulatory and legal barriers.
- PayPal should be fairly valuated at around $40-45 billion when it spins off.
- We believe the rapidly growing payments business represents one the leading drivers for eBay's business.
- The marketplaces segment will gain significantly from the secular shift toward e-commerce being seen in the retail market.
- eBay has several competitive advantages which include a strong network effect and brand recognition, and this will magnify demand in the marketplaces segment.
- Since eBay's acquisition of PayPal back in 2001, it has grown at an impressive pace and has not been showing signs of stopping.
- By enacting the right initiatives at the right time, PayPal has positioned itself to capitalize on the upcoming opportunities in the market.
- Splitting off PayPal from eBay would help to maximize shareholders' value. I believe that PayPal has a better future as an independent.
- A competitive rivalry within the industry, bargaining power of customers and the threat of new entrants are the three key forces which can pose a threat to eBay's business.
- eBay faces huge competition from both online and offline sources, which restricts pricing increases on its marketplace.
- Due to relatively low barriers to entry, new companies continue to crop up in the global e-commerce market, further intensifying the competition.
- eBay selling at roughly half the intrinsic value of the two separate entities (Marketplace and Paypal).
- Share price still depressed due to unwarranted fears of Apple Pay.
- New eBay will have enough cash to buy back 1/3 of shares outstanding within 2.5 years; and half within 4-5 years.
- Extremely profitable wide moat businesses still growing more rapidly than competitors.
- With growth rates of 11% and 9% in the first two quarters of the year, the company had been performing fairly well until Q3 2014 when earnings fell by 6%.
- One of the major reasons for this decline was the fact that Google made substantial changes to the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) algorithm.
- Another major reason was a cyber attack suffered by the company which resulted in its database - in which its users' passwords were stored - being compromised.
- In the short run, investors are not likely to get the returns that they expect.
- In the long run, however, the company has the potential to improve its growth rates and earnings.

- Along with its Q4 results, EBAY announces it has reached a standstill agreement with Carl Icahn, whose demand for a PayPal spinoff was satisfied last September. Icahn Capital exec Jonathan Christodoro will be joining eBay's board; Icahn will have the right to decide whether Christodoro serves on eBay or PayPal's board after the spinoff.
- Also joining eBay's board: Former Wellington Management chairman/CEO Perry Traquina, and Frank Years, the chairman of financial advisory firm CamberView Partners. The board now has 15 directors, 13 of whom are declared to be independent.
- Confirming a December WSJ report, eBay says it's cutting 2,400 jobs (~7% of its workforce). The layoffs will cut across Marketplaces, PayPal, and eBay Enterprise, and be carried out in Q1.
- The company is now "exploring strategic options for eBay Enterprise, including a sale or IPO." While declaring Enterprise, which provides various e-commerce services for major online retailers, a "strong business," eBay says it has become clear the unit "has limited synergies" with either Marketplaces or PayPal.
- Enterprise's sales rose 9% Y/Y in Q4 to $443M, accounting for 9% of eBay's revenue.

- Apple's U.S. and U.K. sites now support PayPal (EBAY -1.1%) as a payment option. Internet Retailer ranks Apple as the second-largest online retailer in the U.S., behind Amazon.
- The deal acts as a valuable win for PayPal as the online payments giant, along with its Braintree unit, continues battling against Stripe, Amazon, and other challengers for the support of online merchants selling on sites not named eBay.
- It comes even though Apple has been pitching Apple Pay as a solution for both online and offline payments. Priceline just announced its iOS apps will support Apple Pay-based purchases that are authenticated "with a single touch via Touch ID."
Dec. 10, 2014, 5:52 PM
- EBAY is weighing a plan to "eliminate thousands of jobs early next year," the WSJ reports. One source says the company has talked about slashing at least 3K jobs (~10% of the workforce).
- The cuts would come ahead of a PayPal split set to occur in 2H15. eBay's spending has been exceeding revenue growth in recent quarters: While revenue rose 12% Y/Y in Q3, GAAP opex rose 17%.
- eBay's 33.5K employees are almost evenly split between PayPal and Marketplaces. Marketplaces still generates more revenue ($2.16B vs. $1.95B in Q3), but PayPal has been growing much faster (20% vs. 6%).
Dec. 10, 2014, 11:10 AM
- CEO John Donahoe will likely leave eBay's (EBAY -0.3%) board and join PayPal's board after eBay finishes spinning off PayPal, Re/code reports.
- The site adds Donahoe wants to give Marketplaces chief Devin Wenig "the freedom to run the company as he sees fit without having to answer to his former boss." Wenig is set to become eBay's CEO following the split, and AmEx exec Dan Schulman PayPal's CEO.
- CFO Bob Swan will reportedly join eBay's board if Donahoe leaves.
Dec. 9, 2014, 8:06 AM
- ChannelAdvisor reports holiday-to-date same-store sales are up 20.7% at Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN).
- The holiday comp at eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY) is +14.7% through December 8.
- The peak for year-over-year sales gains this holiday season came in the third week of November on a new trend of retailers pulling forward some of their best deal which were reserved for Black Friday and Cyber Monday in the past.
- Amazon is down 1.1% premarket, while eBay is unchanged in light early trading.
Dec. 8, 2014, 9:35 AM
- "We envision a $2:$1 risk/reward on a base case and $3:$1 on a bull case based on what we believe are a reasonable set of assumptions and comparable," says Stifel's Scott Devitt, upgrading eBay (EBAY +1.5) to Buy and setting a $65 target.
- Devitt predicts PayPal will gain online payments share following its spinoff (Dan Loeb agrees), and thinks eBay's Marketplaces ops will see margin improvement in 2H15. He sees both PayPal and Marketplaces potentially growing their op. margins post-spinoff.
- The upgrade comes two weeks after Evercore's Ken Sena downgraded to Sell. He cited the ability of "demand channels" to authenticate users on mobile and store payment data without PayPal's help, and the efforts of Apple, Facebook, and other tech giants to do the same.
Dec. 2, 2014, 8:29 AM
- Going live this holiday season at Palo Alto's Stanford Shopping Center, the "Connected Mall" sounds wonderful to those of us used to getting completely lost in massive malls. Features include a 72" touchscreen, and mall maps in 3D view with accurate orientation of a shopper's exact location, including which way he/she is standing.
- Upon selection of a specific store, an interactive map will highlight the location and best route to get there; these directions can then be loaded on the shopper's mobile phone. Personalized deals and offers are also part of the experience.
- "Simon (NYSE:SPG) and the Retail Innovation Division of eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY) have been working on an exclusive basis in the mall space to enhance the shopping experience and provide retailers with a new and compelling way to engage shoppers," says Mikael Thygesen, Simon's CMO.

- This year's Cyber Monday sales grew by much less than expected, according to data from IBM, as online retailers began their web promotions and sales during and even before the Thanksgiving weekend.
- Cyber Monday sales, which were projected to grow between 13%-15%, only reported an 8% rise.
- The results underline the waning importance of Cyber Monday and Black Friday, which until a few years ago kicked off the holiday shopping season.

- Comscore estimates e-commerce spending rose 32% on Thanksgiving Day to $1.01B and 26% on Black Friday to $1.51B.
- Most retail analysts are sticking with their forecast for 4.0%-4.5% growth for holiday sales this year, with early shopping and e-commerce making up for a dip in store traffic on Black Friday.
- Apparel sellers in particular came out with a stronger online push this year.

- IBM estimates U.S. Thanksgiving online sales rose 14% Y/Y, aided by a 29.8% increase in sales from department store sites. Mobile respectively accounted for 32.3% and 52.1% of sales and site traffic, up from 25.8% and 42.6% a year ago. Average order value fell by $7 to $125.
- ChannelAdvisor (ECOM -0.9%) reports its clients' Thanksgiving same-store sales rose 20.1%. Their Amazon (AMZN +1.7%) same-store sales rose 25.9%, but their eBay (EBAY +0.8%) sales fell 3%. Notably, all other marketplaces collectively saw 110% growth - retailers such as Best Buy and Sears have been adding marketplaces to complement their direct sales.
- For reference, ChannelAdvisor reported 32.4% and 4.4% Amazon and eBay October same-store growth, respectively. eBay has been losing marketplace share to Amazon for some time, and was hit this summer by Google algorithm changes and a security breach.
- Early reports for Black Friday sales have generally been positive.

- Jack Ma has announced that Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) will set up an international version of its e-commerce marketplace Taobao, intensifying competition with rivals Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY).
- The new website will serve buyers worldwide in multiple languages, including English and Chinese.
- Alibaba currently has an international e-commerce platform specializing in wholesale goods called Aliexpress but does not have an international offering for consumers to sell to each other.
- Meanwhile, the company is selling its first-ever bond offering today, a giant trade expected to be around $8B in size.
Nov. 12, 2014, 3:33 AM
- After reporting more than $9B in sales on China's Singles' Day yesterday, Alibaba's (NYSE:BABA) Vice Chairman says he is open to working with PayPal (NASDAQ:EBAY) to expand its payment options.
- "If you look at our footprint of being the largest online payment company in China, and PayPal's position of having a very good international position...these are some complementary footprints," says Joseph Tsai.
- The company also sees Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) payment system as helping Chinese consumers when Alibaba's finance affiliate Alipay isn't accepted.

Beside algorithmics and mathematical optimization, the relevance of formal models and the influence of applications on problem modeling are also considered. In addition, the papers address experimental studies and useful prototype implementations.
The 17 full papers presented here were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions and are organized into topical sections covering network and line planning, timetabling and timetable information, rolling stock and crew scheduling, and real-time operations.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Logan Couture and Marty Havlat did much more than just shut down Minnesota's top line. They dominated the score sheet for San Jose, as well.
Couture and Havlat each scored two goals and the Sharks closed in on a ninth straight playoff berth, beating the Wild 6-1 on Thursday night for their most lopsided win of the season.
"The last 10 games or so, we've been matched up against top lines, so it's a challenge every night," Couture said. "Coming to the rink, we're excited to do it. To have a point night like this is always nice."
Couture, Havlat and Patrick Marleau controlled their matchup with Mikko Koivu, Zack Parise and Charlie Coyle by winning faceoffs, getting the puck into the Wild zone and converting on their scoring chances. Couture and Marleau had two assists apiece and Havlat added another as the trio combined for nine points.
Raffi Torres and Joe Pavelski also scored for the Sharks, who have won three straight games to remain tied for fourth place with Los Angeles in the race for home-ice advantage in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. Antti Niemi made 26 saves in his 22nd straight start.
"We all feel comfortable," captain Joe Thornton said. "We all like where our game is. We can still improve in some things and we still got some games in the regular season to win. But, yeah, we keep getting better. It's a perfect time for that."
Pierre-Marc Bouchard scored the lone goal for the Wild, who dropped behind St. Louis into seventh place in the conference. Minnesota has a four-point lead over ninth-place Dallas and Detroit in the battle for the final playoff spot in the conference but has one fewer game remaining.
"We didn't deserve anything today," said Niklas Backstrom, who was replaced in the third period after allowing five goals. "We know we can play a lot better than that. We weren't playing well at any point of the game today. We have to get back to basics and do the small things right. We have to get back to playing our game. If we play the right way, we'll be fine."
Havlat has struggled to produce in his two seasons in San Jose since being acquired in a deal for Heatley in July 2011. But he has excelled against the Wild this month with three goals and two assists. He has no points in his past 10 games against the rest of the league.
Along with the two goals, Havlat also drew the penalty that set up Couture's power-play tally when he was held by Clayton Stoner early in the second.
The Sharks capitalized on a nifty passing sequence when Joe Thornton fed Patrick Marleau behind the goal line and Marleau set up Couture in the slot for a one-timer that made it 2-0.
"The way he's been playing lately he's driving our bus right now," coach Todd McLellan said. "He's the head guy and he's making it happen and we're happy for him."
Bouchard brought the Wild back when he beat Niemi with a backhand on a breakaway off a nice feed from Jason Pominville, but Havlat restored the two-goal lead late in the period with help from his linemate Couture.
Couture leaped to knock down Backstrom's clearing attempt behind the net and quickly fed Havlat in front for the easy goal with Backstrom scrambling to get back in position.
"It was lucky," Couture said. "I think I reached behind my head and was able to knock it down. I looked right up and saw Marty in the slot. So I'll take it."
Torres and Pavelski then broke the game open when they teamed up for a pair of goals in a 22-second span early in the third period. The first came when Torres forced a turnover from Jonas Brodin and then skated around the net to beat Backstrom on a wraparound for his first goal with the Sharks on an assist from Pavelski.
They stayed on for the ensuing faceoff scored again to end Backstrom's night. Torres shot was blocked and went right to Pavelski in the slot, who scored his 14th goal of the season.
Couture added his second against Darcy Kuemper on an assist from Havlat midway through the third.
The Sharks took a 1-0 lead after the first period when Niemi stopped Jason Pominville on a breakaway shortly before San Jose capitalized on a fortuitous bounce. Havlat's centering pass to Logan Couture deflected off the stick of back-checking Mikko Koivu and into the net to give the Sharks a 1-0 lead.
"We didn't play the way we wanted to play," Pominville said. "If we had put that one away early it might have been a different game. But we just weren't executing. We have to put it behind us and look ahead. We have to make sure we're better. We have to make adjustments."
Game notes
San Jose improved to 16-1-5 at home this season. ... Havlat has four goals in his past 29 games with three coming against the Wild. ... Minnesota F Mike Rupp missed his second straight game with a lower-body injury.

Unwire Your iPod With The Audioengine AW2
Hold on to your hat, because Audioengine is about to knock it off with the AW2. The just released, handy little device plugs directly into your iPod (should work with the iPhone but you might experience some GSM annoyance), is powered by the dock connection and wirelessly transmits CD quality audio to the included receiver, which by the way appears to be an AW1 in hiding (I loved). Setup is super simple and Audioengine has even included headphone and RCA cords to get you going. The only downside is that the receiver requires power, which means an outlet needs to be in reasonable close reach given the cordless power plug.
The AW2 is available here for $169
Hopefully we can score a pair for review, so keep an eye out.
AW2 Features
- Use your iPod for total wireless music control
- Quick setup, Receiver included
- Super-compact size, no batteries needed
- No separate remote or base station needed
- Uncompressed CD-quality digital transmission
- No dropouts, static or interference
- Wi-Fi technology beats Bluetooth and FM
- No DRM restrictions, plays all your music
- HOP feature works with up to 8 receivers

A man who was injured when another man jumped off a Clark Fork River bridge and landed on him is suing Missoula County, alleging it did not take enough steps to prevent such an accident.
Andy Hill's lawsuit argues the Bandmann Bridge in East Missoula has no barriers to prevent jumping and no signs to warn those on the river of the potential danger.
Hill suffered torn knee ligaments, a broken leg and other injuries in July 2013 when Corey Allen Hewitt landed on Hill as he floated the river on an inner tube. Hewitt was given a two-year deferred sentence for negligent endangerment and was ordered to pay Hill $22,500 in restitution.
County Chief Administrative Officer Vickie Zeier says the county intends to resolve the matter "amicably."

The fitness tracking wearable is far from a new concept. Basic devices such as heart rate monitoring wristwatches have been around for decades, while the last few years have seen an explosion of smartwatches and other wearable tech that either cater for, or are specifically designed for fitness enthusiasts. However, while the Vidameter may look like just another wearable, it actually has a much bigger mandate in mind, aiming to take a hand in personal safety and general well-being as well as fitness.
