Hi Sawyer,
I've read email several times now, and I really can't see anything in it
that I don't like :)
I said which answer I'd really like, and you gave me one better than
that - not only is it fixed in Dancer 2, there's even a good chance that
the fix will be backported to Dancer 1. Not seeing a downside there at all.
None of the work I'm doing is time-critical, so as long as there's a fix
in the pipeline, I'm happy.
If there's anything I can do to help get the Dancer 1 patch out sooner,
then by all means let me know. I'm no expert in Dancer internals, but
I'm happy to help in any way I can.
Cheers,
Dave...
