use the stdlib's context package

[vrischmann]

Hi,

any plan to use the stdlib's context after Go 1.7 is released ?

[rs]

I'm not sure it would be relevant. Why would you want to continue using xhandler once Go 1.7 is released?

[vrischmann]

Right, we can now get the context on the request, but there's still the middlewares and xmux. But you're right, it doesn't make much sense to keep the API as is, so maybe it'd be best for me to start fresh and just take the middleware stuff.

[rs]

Xmux is httprouter with context support. You can now use httprouter directly.

I may split the middleware and the chain tool in a separate project if you think it would be interesting.

To be honest I don't really know right now, I'll have to look at what I do. Looking at my usage of xhandler.Chain it's literally just calls to ch.Use and nothing else, so I may just c/p Chain in my own code, and use the std http.Handler + httprouter in the future.

Anyway I think we can close this issue, thanks for your responses :)
