Sinatra como Middleware

Not only is Sinatra able to use other Rack middleware, any Sinatra application can in turn be added in front of any Rack endpoint as middleware itself.

This endpoint could be another Sinatra application, or any other Rack-based application (Rails/Ramaze/Camping/…):

1. When a request comes in, all before filters are triggered
2. Then, if a route matches, the corresponding block will be executed
3. If no route matches, the request is handed off to the wrapped application
4. The after filters are executed after we've got a response back from the route or the wrapped app

Thus, our Sinatra app is a middleware.

  run!
