having checkAvailability be a separate method doesn't add much.

Done.

It would probably be nicer to catch this error from C++ but I can see that the
ModuleSystem doesn't like that.

We can fix this later - probably by having some interface like

ModuleSystem::ScopedExceptionCatcher exception_catcher(module_system);
module_system->CallModuleMethod(...);
if (exception_catcher.HasCaught...)
  ...

but for now could you add a TODO?

if you kill StartPost then you'd kill this method too, but I think that's fine.
the extra work in doing that SendResponse etc is negligible.
