Any way to modify the request path in middleware?
(this is cross-posted on https://github.com/orgs/honojs/discussions/2642 - I'm not quite sure which forum we are meant to use? trying both, apologies for the noise)
I am trying to replicate a legacy API which had optional versions in paths, so GET /v1/foo actually called GET /foo under the covers.
I was hoping to add some middleware that just intercepted paths starting with /v1 and removed the prefix (or re-directed somehow to the correct route) - but it seems that modifying the ctx.req.path does nothing.
Is this possible? I've seen examples that clone ctx.req.raw and make a brand new request - that feels a bit ugly, and I'm not sure that Hono will use the new request's path for routing anyway.
Any suggestions? (for added complexity we are using the zod-openapi middleware so I can't just give our routes both /foo and /v1/foo paths easily. And we'd like to decrement the /v1 rubbish anyway, so I'd prefer to not have it in our openapi schema)

What are you using to run the application using redirects on your server sounds like the best option
To calify I am not talking about runtime, rather server like nginx or an automated service like DO apps
yeah, I could add a redirect inside our k8s cluster (we already have some)
For now though I just moved to
on('GET', ['/foo','/v1/foo'],... - had to upgrade hono to get there!
I also killed off the zod-openapi middleware, so I can hide endpoints like /v1/foo from our API docs.
