Module ratchet.http.server
This library provides server-side capabilities for an HTTP service. Currently the server only supports HTTP/1.0, with no current plans to support 1.1 or higher, as it is only provided for convenience and as an example of using the ratchet libraries.
Functions
| handle (self) | Receives an HTTP query, calls the corresponding handler, and returns the results. |
| new (socket, handlers, from, send_size) | Creates a new HTTP server object. |
Functions
- handle (self)
-
Receives an HTTP query, calls the corresponding handler, and returns the results.
Parameters
- self: The http.server object.
- new (socket, handlers, from, send_size)
-
Creates a new HTTP server object. A new object should be created with this function for each socket created by accept()'ing a new connection on a listening socket.
Parameters
- socket: Used as the underlying socket for the query, under the assumption that encryption has been established as needed and no other I/O has taken place.
- handlers: Table whose keys correspond to supported HTTP commands. The command is called as a method of this table, e.g. handlers:GET(...), with the arguments being the URI, headers, data, and source address.
- from: Passed as the last argument to a handler function, typically used to send the source address of the connection (the second value returned by accept()).
- send_size: Used as the maximum size of a send() operation, defaults to half of the SO_SNDBUF socket option.
Return value:
a new http.server object.
