Discuss how (whether?) to handle {pre,post}process #8

Closed yurrriq closed 6 months ago

I'm not sure how exactly they should fit in with lmug, or if they should at all. Are there generic analogs across different webservers?

Bump.

This is the main issue holding me back from dogfooding lmug-elli at work.

yurrriq commented 8 years ago

On second thought we can probably handle pre- and post-processing just fine via normal Ring strategies. The real key difference from other webservers, perhaps, is that elli handlers can throw a response (or error to become a 500) at any time, thus short-circuiting the flow. While we can handle that easily in elli-lmug, being aware of the behaviour, I wonder how that might translate across other web servers generically.

If I write an lmug handler that throws to short circuit, how should I expect it to behave when I swap yaws for elli, for example?

lmug has gotten a massive rewrite and is much, much simpler. I'm closing many old tickets and creating new ones for next steps.
