Gracefully handle errors

[tkanos]

doing that we don't keep the backward compatibility, because the type Constructor is changed.
But if you want to keep Alice as simple as it is.
This catched version can be a Tag of Alice on github.

Or if you have ideas to keep the backward compatibility ?

Hey @tkanos,

Thanks for your suggestion, but as I do not see this working without breaking backwards compatibility, I do not think this implementation currently has place in Alice. The whole idea is to keep a completely standard http.Handler interface which, sadly, does not have a standard way to indicate error. The closest way to having it in the standard interface would be, if anything, signaling an error on request.Context.

There might be some frameworks have this signature with an error return, so these could be considered as alternatives to alice in this case.

Thanks again!

I fully understand. And you are right.

Thanks.
