// Package middleware provides some types and functions common among middleware. package middleware import ( "net/http" "path" "time" ) type ( // Middleware is the middle layer which represents the traditional // idea of middleware: it chains one Handler to the next by being // passed the next Handler in the chain. Middleware func(Handler) Handler // Handler is like http.Handler except ServeHTTP returns a status code // and an error. The status code is for the client's benefit; the error // value is for the server's benefit. The status code will be sent to // the client while the error value will be logged privately. Sometimes, // an error status code (4xx or 5xx) may be returned with a nil error // when there is no reason to log the error on the server. // // If a HandlerFunc returns an error (status >= 400), it should NOT // write to the response. This philosophy makes middleware.Handler // different from http.Handler: error handling should happen at the // application layer or in dedicated error-handling middleware only // rather than with an "every middleware for itself" paradigm. // // The application or error-handling middleware should incorporate logic // to ensure that the client always gets a proper response according to // the status code. For security reasons, it should probably not reveal // the actual error message. (Instead it should be logged, for example.) // // Handlers which do write to the response should return a status value // < 400 as a signal that a response has been written. In other words, // only error-handling middleware or the application will write to the // response for a status code >= 400. When ANY handler writes to the // response, it should return a status code < 400 to signal others to // NOT write to the response again, which would be erroneous.
