Detailed Documentation

The abstract base class for HTTPRequestHandlers created by HTTPServer.

Derived classes must override the handleRequest() method. Furthermore, a HTTPRequestHandlerFactory must be provided.

The handleRequest() method must perform the complete handling of the HTTP request connection. As soon as the handleRequest() method returns, the request handler object is destroyed.

A new HTTPRequestHandler object will be created for each new HTTP request that is received by the HTTPServer.

Methods

void
handleRequest(
    HTTPServerRequest& request,
