    public HomeController(Areas.Api.Controllers.FoobarController foobarController)
    {

    }

    private void InitControllers()
    {
        // We can't set this at Ctor because we don't have our local copy yet
        // Access to Url 
        _foobarController.Url = Url;
        // Access to User
        _foobarController.ActionContext = ActionContext;

        model.Bar = _foobarController.List(new FoobarRequest() { Foo = false, Bar = true });
