Structuremap error when using HttpContextBase in constructor - asp.net

Question

I am building a ASP.NET MVC 2.0 app on .NET 4.0 and am using Structuremap 2.6.1 for IoC. I recently added a ICookie and Cookie class, the Cookie class takes HttpContextBase as a constructor parameter (See below) and now when I run my app I get this error :No Default Instance defined for PluginFamily System.Web.HttpContextBase.
I have used this method before in another MVC app with the same stack but did not get this error. Am I missing something? If I do need to add some mapping code for HttoContextBase in my structuremap configuration file what would I use?
And help would be great!!!
Cookie.cs
public class Cookie : ICookie
{
private readonly HttpContextBase _httpContext;
private static bool defaultHttpOnly = true;
private static float defaultExpireDurationInDays = 1;
private readonly ICryptographer _cryptographer;
public Cookie(HttpContextBase httpContext, ICryptographer cryptographer)
{
Check.Argument.IsNotNull(httpContext, "httpContext");
Check.Argument.IsNotNull(cryptographer, "cryptographer");
_cryptographer = cryptographer;
_httpContext = httpContext;
}
public static bool DefaultHttpOnly
{
[DebuggerStepThrough]
get { return defaultHttpOnly; }
[DebuggerStepThrough]
set { defaultHttpOnly = value; }
}
public static float DefaultExpireDurationInDays
{
[DebuggerStepThrough]
get { return defaultExpireDurationInDays; }
[DebuggerStepThrough]
set
{
Check.Argument.IsNotZeroOrNegative(value, "value");
defaultExpireDurationInDays = value;
}
}
public T GetValue<T>(string key)
{
return GetValue<T>(key, false);
}
public T GetValue<T>(string key, bool expireOnceRead)
{
var cookie = _httpContext.Request.Cookies[key];
T value = default(T);
if (cookie != null)
{
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(cookie.Value))
{
var converter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(T));
try
{
value = (T)converter.ConvertFromString(_cryptographer.Decrypt(cookie.Value));
}
catch (NotSupportedException)
{
if (converter.CanConvertFrom(typeof(string)))
{
value = (T)converter.ConvertFrom(_cryptographer.Decrypt(cookie.Value));
}
}
}
if (expireOnceRead)
{
cookie = _httpContext.Response.Cookies[key];
if (cookie != null)
{
cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-100d);
}
}
}
return value;
}
public void SetValue<T>(string key, T value)
{
SetValue(key, value, DefaultExpireDurationInDays, DefaultHttpOnly);
}
public void SetValue<T>(string key, T value, float expireDurationInDays)
{
SetValue(key, value, expireDurationInDays, DefaultHttpOnly);
}
public void SetValue<T>(string key, T value, bool httpOnly)
{
SetValue(key, value, DefaultExpireDurationInDays, httpOnly);
}
public void SetValue<T>(string key, T value, float expireDurationInDays, bool httpOnly)
{
TypeConverter converter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(T));
string cookieValue = string.Empty;
try
{

}

}
}

{
var cookie = new HttpCookie(key, _cryptographer.Encrypt(cookieValue))
{
Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(expireDurationInDays),
HttpOnly = httpOnly
};
_httpContext.Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
}
}

I believe you would need to register the HttpContextBase on every request in your Begin_Request handler like so:
For<HttpContextBase>().Use(() => new HttpContextWrapper(HttpContext.Current));
Update: Make sure you register a lambda, otherwise you StructureMap will store the HttpContext available at registration time as a singleton.
