Gin: Different Context? (Appengine)

[schmitch]

Is it possible to have a different Context then gin.Context? I'am using appengine and i need to use some app engine related context

hey, you can't. but you do not need to. Since the app engine context is a different matter.

As you can see in the sample code:

func handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    appengineContext := appengine.NewContext(r)

the app engine context takes as argument the http.Request, right?

You can do exactly the same in Gin, since the Gin context includes the SAME http.Request.
Try this:

func handler(c *gin.Context) {
    appengineContext := appengine.NewContext(c.Request)

does it make sense?
