Middleware question: If 100% of an apps views require a logged-in user except for the login page, does it makes sense to have middleware check the URL and redirect to the login page rather than putting the @login_required decorator over all the views?
I have to ensure that users' passwords expire, and to do that I need to check the user's profile on each page load and redirect to the password change page if it has. I tried doing this within a context processor, but redirection doesn't work from there. I was told on the IRC channel that I should be using middleware. If that's the case, doesn't it makes sense to just handle the (nearly identical) task of @login_required in the same middleware?
