| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 1 Instances of the HTTP::Daemon class are HTTP/1.1 servers |
| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 2 that listen on a socket for incoming requests. |
| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 3 The HTTP::Daemon is a subclass of IO::Socket::IP, so you |
| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 4 can perform socket operations directly on it too. |
| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 5 |
| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 6 Please note that HTTP::Daemon used to be a subclass of |
| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 7 IO::Socket::INET. |
| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 8 To support IPv6, it switched the parent class to IO::Socket::IP |
| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 9 at version 6.05. |
| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 10 |
| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 11 The accept() method will return when a connection from a |
| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 12 client is available. The returned value will be an |
| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 13 HTTP::Daemon::ClientConn object which is another |
| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 14 IO::Socket::IP subclass. |
| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 15 Calling the get_request() method on this object will read |
| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 16 data from the client and return an HTTP::Request object. |
| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 17 The ClientConn object also provide methods to send back |
| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 18 various responses. |
| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 19 |
| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 20 This HTTP daemon does not fork(2) for you. |
| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 21 Your application, i.e. the user of the HTTP::Daemon is |
| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 22 responsible for forking if that is desirable. |
| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 23 Also note that the user is responsible for generating |
| Hans-G?nter@24219 | 24 responses that conform to the HTTP/1.1 protocol. |
