#[route] macro without method

[tp971]

Currently, the route macro requires a method, but I need a way to define a route for all HTTP methods. The only way I found how to do that is with app.route("/some/path", web::route().to(some_handler)), but I think it would be nice to define a handler with #[route("/some/path")] and then just do app.service(some_handler).

#[route("/some/path")]

I can see this being dangerous to allow in the general case. You can imagine a scenario where a developer thinks this is just for GETs and then deploying an app where it's problematic to receive a POST.

I think safer to push people towards the existing solutions, either:

• specifying all the supported HTTP methods using #[route("/", method = GET, method = POST, ...)];
• using manual routing where .route("/", web::route().to(handler)) or a resource with .default_service(handler) configured achieves it for arbitrary methods, too.

I guess if that's in issue, maybe make it explicit, e.g. #[any("...")], or #[route("...", method = any)].

That could work. I'd accept a feature request issue for it.
