Allow overwrite function methodNotAllowedHandler

[ivoszz]

I am just starting to use your project which seems excellent to me, but got into trouble with hard coded methodNotAllowedHandler function. I have to return JSON object on every error (like in JSON API spec) and I am not able to specify my own response to this error. Or can you suggest any solution to this? Thanks.

hey @ivoszz I see, potentially I can put a MethodNotAllowedHandler http.Handler on the chi.Mux and let you set it there. That will work but I need to check the interaction with subrouters.

@ivoszz I was just checking into this, and it seems the current methodNotAllowedHandler just returns 405 with an empty body, so it should be valid to the response of your json handler

hey @pkieltyka you are right. The body is empty but still marked as text/html and this doesn't solve the problem of JSON api. text/html is hard coded and cannot be changed even when there are Accept: application/json or application/vnd.api+json in request header. The header Allow is also not generated (and cannot be) which is against the spec:
"The origin server MUST generate an Allow header field in a 405 response containing a list of the target resource's currently supported methods."
The possibility of redefining methodNotAllowedHandler will be sufficient.
