[dancer-users] Before Hook hit multiple times.

[Rick Bragg]

Hi, Is it OK to top-post in this list?  anyway,

I hit the site using chrome.  I think that's really weird to call the before hook a
bunch of times depending on the browser.  Does that mean it will call the before
hook for every resource on every page?  That's useless.  I would expect that all
hooks and routes are called once in the application flow.  Do I really have to
program around this taking into consideration the number of times the before hook
is called on each page?
