The previous implementation added a lambda which held a reference to the response object to the request task, creating a strong reference to the request object which could lead to a memory leak, because the request and response cannot be garbage collected until the task itself is.
This reworks the middleware to store the request span in a context var and use only that context var for the task callback, ensuring that the request and response objects can be freed from memory even if the underlying task has not been garbage collected.
I haven't been able to get my local environment working correctly, so I have not been able to test this behavior to ensure correctness.
