Assuming that you're not serving up static files directly via e.g. nginx, then
I think a before filter should be able to catch requests that would otherwise
have been served straight out of the public dir... maybe something vaguely
like:
before sub {
if (request->path =~ m{^/images}) {
handle_resize();
}
};
I'm not sure that params will have been parsed, though, if it's being treated
as a static route.
I think the way you've implemented it is quite probably a better option.
