Hi, as I already wrote I'm interested in being able to rewrite URLs before the resource lookup starts. I thought about doing this as a tween. From looking at the code I think it should be enough to change the path attribute of the request (I'm also changing url and path_qs and path_url). Now I realized that I can't overwrite the values of path (and url, path_qs etc.). What would be the proper way to do this? Configure a request factory overwriting these attributes? Or create a new request within the tween cloning from the original request? How would you do this in a clean way?
Any help or advice is very appreciated :)
Cheers,
Benjamin
