I've inferred that standard http-handlers are only invoked after the http headers have been drained and parsed, and that they are invoked on an io thread.Here's what I've been doing in the default handler: if (exchange.isInIOThread()   dispatch(this) else  exchange.getRequestReceiver().receiveFullString(exchange ->  .....) But it's occurred to me that this is inefficient, since I'm (I think):IO Thread -> dispatch -> Worker-Thread -> IO-Thread (to drain/parse body as String) -> WorkerThread (receiveFullString callback) Now the above works, but I don't think it's optimal I do want the receiveFullString callback to execute in an worker thread (since it blocks), this is why I included the initial dispatch call,  basically I just want a handler lambda to be: if exchange.isInIOThread()   assert   body-has-been-fully-drained-and-parsed-as-string   dispatch(this)else:  String body = exchange.getBodyAsString?? ..... I'm assuming exchange.getRequestReceiver().receiveFullString is *always* asynchronous.What's the best way to do this, since it's such a common pattern?Thanks
