Why controller constructors run before the Initialize method

Question

I have a base controller ApplicationControllerthat needs to grab the host url and do some processing before the child controllers are started. Since controller constructors run before RequestContext is initialized, I have to override the Initialize method to complete my processing.

ApplicationController:

    Protected Overrides Sub Initialize(ByVal requestContext As System.Web.Routing.RequestContext)
        MyBase.Initialize(requestContext)

        Dim host as String
        host = Request.Url.Host.ToString
    End Sub

What is the logic behind locking controller constructors before the Initialize method?

Also what are the rules of what should be placed in the initialization method.
