per request hook

From:: Jay Baker

Hi all, I'm looking for a hook like before_request, but one that has the
request, i.e. a per request pre-processor. What is the best thing to use
for that?

Thanks in advance.

before_request has access to the request.  However remember that the
request object should be considered immutable for many reasons.

If you want apply deployment specific fixes use a WSGI middleware.

ah, thanks. Thought I had tried that before and ran into an issue.

In my particular case at the moment, I just need to inspect the request,
for all requests, and redirect if some particular conditions are met. If
this was view specific I would decorate the impacted views, but that is not
practical in this case.

Thanks Armin.
