Hey!
I'm trying to do the same thing as this stackoverflow post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71154171/is-there-any-way-to-drop-request-inside-plugin

Meaning I want to reject a request inside a plugin (I want to implement verify firebase authentication https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/admin/verify-id-tokens).

The way described in the post doesn't work because of this error: Cannot access 'pipeline': it is internal in 'PluginBuilder'

Is there a workaround for this or an overall better way to implement this?

[Rustam Siniukov]

calling call.respond in your plugin handler should be enough

[Julius]

Sounds very good!
And that prevents the service logic from running?

[Julius]

Yes, this seems to be working!
Can I cite you for answering the stackoverflow question @Rustam Siniukov?

[Rustam Siniukov]

Sure!

Why does the handler continue execution after call.respond ?
I expect it to work as return (even if it is used in a plugin).
You have to call return@get or return@onCall
But what's the point?

I suspect it would be for instances where you might want to take an action/have the action continue doing something else after calling respond
