(RADIATOR) PreProcessingHook to bypass further processing

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Kwang -

The usual way to do what you describe is to use an AuthBy INTERNAL 
clause followed by a PostAuthHook.

For your question about Handlers, it is more usual to specify a final 
<Handler> to catch "everything else".

# deal with something specific

<Handler ......>
	.....
</Handler>

# deal with everything else

<Handler>
	.....
</Handler>


regards

Hugh

NB: have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
