Fix "race condition" in mirror helper #197

Closed matthias-wende-sociomantic closed 5 years ago

Assigning a request and changing the state are assumed to be one atomic operation. However assign calls other functions that might lead into situations where the state is checked although not yet changed. Interchanging these commands solves this problem in the given non threaded environments.
