Can i create OwinMiddleware per request instead creating a global object

Question

I'm working on the webapi project & now we are migrating to Owin/Katana hosting. I have few doubts regarding.

Quest ) Can i create OwinMiddleware per request instead creating a global object?

I'm able to create owinMiddleware but not able to create them per request. I wanted to create them per request so that i can insert a new object in owinMiddleware as dependency. I'm already using unity in webapi so wanted some solution aligned with unity.

I found few links :-

but not able to adjust a new IoC with old unity. Can anybody suggest any solution

I found a way by which we could achive this :-

        app.Use((IOwinContext context, Func<Task> next) =>
        {
            ILogger logger = {Resolve dependency using Unity};
            CustomOwinMiddleware middleware = new CustomOwinMiddleware(context,next, logger);
            return middleware.Invoke();
        });

By this way I'm able to generate my middle ware per request. Is it the right way to do this ?
