/Can I short circuit the mainresponder mechanism (or avoid it) to simply deliver the returned HTML without unnecessary processing?/

In your firstFilter, get the HTML text into a variable (named "s" in this example). Then do:

pta^.responseBody = s
scriptError ("!return")

That will short-circuit the rest of the page-building process and return the raw HTML.

See manilaSuite.filters.firstFilter -- we do this for cached home pages.

Another approach is to not use mainResponder -- use a simple custom responder that returns raw HTML.
