Oh wow - it get's better. Say you have a handler - that processes some information from a request and then sends out a response. In my case the server bundles useful stuff into a requestArray, and after it has been routed a handler processes it and sends back a reply to the browser. The handler looks like this:
*command* process_UnGot socketID, requestArray > *put* requestArray ["someInput"] && "is flexible!" into someMessage > daemon_SendJSON socketID, someMessage > *return* "An ungot url path" > *end* process_UnGot So let's say we want to modify this processing in some way - but not touch the code. We can override the handler, by using the same "process_UnGot" - but what if we want to just modify the data and let the existing code do it's thing. how can we put stuff into the requestArray without altering the existing code? Well damned me if you can't use the following before handler in another script: before process_UnGot socketID, @requestArray > *put* "rubbish" into requestArray ["test"] > *end* process_UnGot Note the "@" - it's not in the original handler - but it still works! Inject anything you want into any existing handler without messing with your existing code. Middleware just got sexy.
