DESCRIPTION
HTTP::Server::Simple was already simple, but some smart-ass pointed out that there is no CGI in HTTP, and so this module was born to isolate the CGI.pm-related parts of this handler.accept_hook
The accept_hook in this sub-class clears the environment to the start-up state.post_setup_hook
Initializes the global CGI object, as well as other environment settings.cgi_class [Classname]
Gets or sets the class to use for creating the $cgi object passed to "handle_request".Called with a single argument, it sets the coderef. Called with no arguments, it returns this field's current value.
To provide an initialization subroutine to be run in the post_setup_hook, see ``cgi_init''.
e.g.
$server->cgi_class('CGI'); $server->cgi_init(sub { require CGI; CGI::initialize_globals(); });
or, if you want to use CGI::Simple,
$server->cgi_class('CGI::Simple'); $server->cgi_init(sub { require CGI::Simple; });
cgi_init [CODEREF]
A coderef to run in the post_setup_hook.Called with a single argument, it sets the coderef. Called with no arguments, it returns this field's current value.
setup
This method sets up CGI environment variables based on various meta-headers, like the protocol, remote host name, request path, etc.See the docs in HTTP::Server::Simple for more detail.
handle_request CGI
This routine is called whenever your server gets a request it can handle.It's called with a CGI object that's been pre-initialized. You want to override this method in your subclass
handler
Handler implemented as part of HTTP::Server::Simple API
