I think you are right in a "normal" situation, but in my case I just
have a Starman
instance running this thing. An internal app which is in development.
Of course I could have a separate app.psgi file just to show "site is closed".
That's probably what I am going to do. Thanks.

Nevertheless, the question still stands: What can one do in the before
hook and where is that documented?
