Use a different WorkerRouter for the provided pattern. Keep in mind that:

• The pattern must end in a wildcard *
• The corresponding match is the only part used for matching in the subRouter
• Forwards all HTTP methods
• Does not apply any middleware

Why does it not apply middleware?

There are 2 reasons: First, it interferes with type inference of middleware. As a developer you'd have to provide the correct types at the point of defining the sub router, which is at least as cumbersome as providing the middleware itself.

Second, without this there would be no way to opt a route out of the router-level middleware. For example you might want to opt out all /public* urls from cookie parsing, authentication, etc. but add a different caching policy instead.
