How to implement guide with custom middleware scenarios to process requests in rails 7
I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer. I'm experiencing an scenario with a custom middleware I've implemented in my Rails 7 application. The middleware is supposed to log incoming requests and check for a specific header before allowing the request to proceed. However, it seems to be completely bypassing my middleware logic. I have this middleware defined in `lib/middleware/request_logger.rb`: ```ruby class RequestLogger def initialize(app) @app = app end def call(env) req = Rack::Request.new(env) Rails.logger.info "Received request: #{req.request_method} #{req.fullpath}" if req.headers['X-Special-Header'].nil? return [403, { 'Content-Type' => 'text/plain' }, ['Forbidden']] end @app.call(env) end end ``` I've added this middleware in `config/application.rb` like this: ```ruby config.middleware.use 'RequestLogger' ``` However, when I make requests without the `X-Special-Header`, I'm still getting a `200 OK` response instead of the `403 Forbidden`. I've confirmed that the logging part of my middleware is working since I see the logs for the requests, but the header check seems to be ineffective. I've tried restarting the server, checking the middleware stack using `rails middleware`, and confirming that my middleware is listed there, but nothing seems to resolve the scenario. I also verified that there are no preceding middlewares that might be altering the request before it reaches mine. Has anyone encountered a similar question or have any insights into what might be going wrong? My development environment is Ubuntu. Am I missing something obvious? This is for a service running on Debian.
