Re: [hunchentoot-devel] Middleware with Hunchentoot

I don't think Hunchentoot exposes a good place for this kind of thing. URL cleaning is easy enough: put it at the beginning of *dispatch-table* where it'll get called early on and can rewrite (request-uri). But where would one put gzipping? It has to do its magic _after_ any handler runs, and process the handler's output. It'd be nicest to specify it once, and not in every single handler's code.

I imagine the suggested usage is something like this?

(defclass my-dispatch-table () ((table :accessor table)))

(defmethod dispatch-request ((table my-dispatch-table)) (with-cleverness (dispatch-request (table table))))

Cool! Thanks much.
