The returned value will be an 1.16 +HTTP::Daemon::ClientConn object which is another 1.17 +IO::Socket::IP subclass. 1.18 +Calling the get_request() method on this object will read 1.19 +data from the client and return an HTTP::Request object. 1.20 +The ClientConn object also provide methods to send back 1.21 +various responses. 1.22 + 1.23 +This HTTP daemon does not fork(2) for you. 1.24 +Your application, i.e. the user of the HTTP::Daemon is 1.25 +responsible for forking if that is desirable. 1.26 +Also note that the user is responsible for generating 1.27 +responses that conform to the HTTP/1.1 protocol.
