Can Falcon dispatch to a callable based on any property of a request, not just request method (GET/POST etc)?

accept headers, cookies, query strings, etc.

Currently API._get_responder() looks up the responder based on the path and HTTP method in the request. You could inherit from API and override _get_responder() to make it more flexible. Depending on what you need to do, a sink may also work.

OK. Although it would be nice if it was kinda built in as a core feature without need to do sinks or overrides.

I'm going to close this since it's unlikely that we are going to support dispatching based on any property of a request in the default router.
However, since #967, routers get access to the full req object, so a custom router can now be used to achieve just that.

A subset of this issue, routing based on query string parameters, is tracked in #838.
