Access Web.config settings in Asp.Net Core App?

I understand that asp.net core has a new configuration system that is quite flexible and that’s great. But there are things I like about the web.config based configuration system from .net 4.x. For example one can put comments in the web.config file since it’s an xml file. And that for me is worth sticking with xml rather than going with the shiny new json approach. [Update: I now understand that the json approach also supports comments in the file.]

Dealing with large file uploads on ASP.NET Core 1.0

When I’m uploading large files to my web api in ASP.NET Core, the runtime will load the file into memory before my function for processing and storing the upload is fired. With large uploads this becomes an issue as it is both slow and requires more memory. For previous versions of ASP.NET there are some articles on how to disable the buffering of requests, but I’m not able to find any information on how to do this with ASP.NET Core. Is it possible to disable the buffering of requests so I don’t run out of memory on my server all the time?
