Hello guys, what is the best way to validate headers for all requests and returning a customer response?

[brabo-hi]

one way could be to createApplicationPlugin but in that case we can only throw exception instead of returning body

val HeaderValidatorPlugin = createApplicationPlugin("HeaderValidatorPlugin") {
    on(CallSetup) { call ->
        if (!call.request.headers.contains("X-Customer-Header")) {
            throw BadRequestException("Required header is missing")
        }

What prevents sending the response with the ApplicationCall.respond method?
