 notifyClosed (*code c)
 calls the argument when the persistent connection is closed
 
nothing persistentClosed ()
 called externally when a persistent connection is closed
 
 restoreThreadLocalData (*hash data)
 called after handleRequest() with any data returned from saveThreadData() More...
 
*hash saveThreadLocalData ()
 called before handleRequest() any data returned here will be given to restoreThreadLocalData() after the handleRequest() call More...

Member Function Documentation

◆ constructor()

HttpServer::AbstractUrlHandler::constructor ( string  n_url_root,
*AbstractAuthenticator  auth 
)

creates the object based on the URL root and optional authenticator

Parameters
n_url_rootthe root part of the URL path without the leading "/"
auththe authentication object to use to authenticate connections (see AbstractAuthenticator); if no AbstractAuthenticator object is passed, then by default no authentication will be required
