While trying to review #159, I found the
verify_external_req()
function very hard to understand and to follow its logic. It has multiple early exits, and understanding what the individual checks do (and where they end) is not trivial. In fact, I think a bug or two hides in the function.Therefore, this PR extracts the individual checks, and reorders the logic to prevent early exist to make it easier to follow.
@Avasam: Do you want to review this? After this is merged, you'd have to adapt #159, but I promise to review it promptly.
