[Question] Header validation before schema validation for certain endpoints

[torx-cz]

Hello, I'd like to ask for your opinion.

I need to do a header check (if the version is correct), but it needs to be before the input schema validation. The problem I'm having is that as soon as I use the decorator, a validation error (422) is thrown before my custom check, (it can throw 406 status code). I want a different order.

This would be fairly easy using Django-middleware however, I only need to do this on certain endpoints.

Example decorator:

router = Router()
...

@router.get(...)
@my_header_checker
def some_endpoint_handler(request: HttpRequest, data: SomeSchema)
...

I want to ask if there is any way to run some checks before input validation.

Thank you for your time and reply.
