Detailed Description

HttpRequestHandlers are attached to the HttpServer and process incoming HTTP requests. When an Http request comes in, the HttpServer asks every attached HttpRequestHandler until the first one accepts the request. If the HttpRequestHandler accepts the request its HandleRequest() method will be called with a pointer to a content stream. The request handler is expected to write the response to the content stream (IMPORTANT: don't forget to set the MediaType on the stream!) and return with a HttpStatus code.

bool Http::HttpRequestHandler::AcceptsRequest ( const Ptr< HttpRequest > &  request  )  [virtual]

return true if the http request is accepted by the request handler

Overwrite this method in your subclass and decide if you want to react on the request or not.

Reimplemented in Debug::CorePageHandler, Debug::IoPageHandler, Debug::MemoryPageHandler, Debug::ScriptingPageHandler, Debug::DisplayPageHandler, Debug::MeshPageHandler, Debug::ShaderPageHandler, and Debug::TexturePageHandler.

void Http::HttpRequestHandler::HandleRequest ( const Ptr< HttpRequest > &  request  )  [virtual]

handle a http request, the handler is expected to fill the content stream with response data

Overwrite this method in your subclass. This method will be called by the HttpServer if AcceptsRequest() returned true. The request handler should properly process the request by filling the responseContentStream with data (for instance a HTML page), set the MediaType on the responseContentStream (for instance "text/html") and return with a HttpStatus code (usually HttpStatus::OK).

Reimplemented in Debug::CorePageHandler, Http::DefaultHttpRequestHandler, Debug::IoPageHandler, Debug::MemoryPageHandler, Debug::ScriptingPageHandler, Debug::DisplayPageHandler, Debug::MeshPageHandler, Debug::ShaderPageHandler, and Debug::TexturePageHandler.

int Core::RefCounted::GetRefCount (  )  const [inline, inherited]

get the current refcount

Return the current refcount of the object.

void Core::RefCounted::AddRef (  )  [inline, inherited]

increment refcount by one

Increment the refcount of the object.

void Core::RefCounted::Release (  )  [inline, inherited]

decrement refcount and destroy object if refcount is zero

Decrement the refcount and destroy object if refcount is zero.

const Util::String & Core::RefCounted::GetClassName (  )  const [inline, inherited]

get the class name

Get the class name of the object.

Util::FourCC Core::RefCounted::GetClassFourCC (  )  const [inline, inherited]

get the class FourCC code

Get the class FourCC of the object.

void Core::RefCounted::DumpRefCountingLeaks (  )  [static, inherited]

dump refcounting leaks, call at end of application (NEBULA3_DEBUG builds only!)

This method should be called as the very last before an application exits.
