Hi All, We use a virtual media folder in our current implementation of v6. We have upgraded to 7.2.5 and it fails because httpcontext is null.. HttpContext.Current will always be null when uploading media

In line 92 of IOHelper.cs you see the following code

  if (useHttpContext && HttpContext.Current != null)
        {
            //string retval;
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(path) == false && (path.StartsWith("~") || path.StartsWith(SystemDirectories.Root)))
                return System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath(path);
            else
                return System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/" + path.TrimStart('/'));
        }

Why do they even need the HttpContext.Current != null check here as MapPath will still work even if the HttpContext.Current is null??

I understand it's helpful if running from a console app but could you have the same intent using

if (useHttpContext && (HttpRuntime.AppDomainAppId != null || HttpContext.Current != null))

Should I be writing a work around in a custom version of PhysicalFileSystem from Core.IO or will this be fixed soonish?

Thanks, Tom
