Global request guards

[KennethGomez]

I've run into a issue on which my Rocket application needs some sort of guard for all routes and I don't find anywhere on documentation to do it.

I've tested doing a Fairing that then calls a guard with request.guard method, but I still don't know how to process the outcome the guard produces, how to abort the request on that Fairing.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Thank you in advance.

Fairings cannot directly influence routing or respond early. #749 includes a proposal that would make Fairings able to return a Response or Responder directly, but it hasn't yet been implemented.

Is there any way to achieve this?

One current workaround is that an on_request fairing can change the request URI (with set_uri) to a particular predefined route.

Thank you very much for your help, you can close this issue as the workaround is valid for me, and I'll be waiting for the Fairing implementation.
