A way of passing variables between middlewares

[justinas]

Alice tries not to get in the way: it is only a helper and does not change the existing interfaces (net/http). Unfortunately, net/http provides no support for passing data between the handlers.

Using purely net/http interfaces, I see no way to deal with this without relying on a global store.

Note that gorilla/context or similar tools are exactly for storing data "specific to the reqest itself". gorilla/context's underlying store is a map[*http.Request]map[interface{}]interface{}, so data from separate requests will never get mixed.
