Org - organization
M-Host - host name from instance-level $MHOST env

Ping-Pong middleware

> http GET https://remark42.radio-t.com/ping

Logger middleware

Logs all info about request, including user, method, status code, response size, url, elapsed time, request body (optional). Can be customized by passing flags - LogNone, LogAll, LogUser and LogBody. Flags can be combined (provided multiple times)

Recoverer middleware

Recoverer is a middleware that recovers from panics, logs the panic (and a backtrace), and returns a HTTP 500 (Internal Server Error) status if possible.

OnlyFrom middleware

OnlyFrom middleware allows access for limited list of source IPs. Such IPs can be defined as complete ip (like 192.168.1.12), prefix (129.168.) or CIDR (192.168.0.0/16)

Metrics middleware

Metrics middleware responds to GET /metrics with list of expvar. Optionally allows to restrict list of source ips.

BlackWords middleware

BlackWords middleware doesn't allow user-defined words in the request body.
