  20 Description: simple http server class
  21  Instances of the HTTP::Daemon class are HTTP/1.1 servers that listen on a
  22  socket for incoming requests. The HTTP::Daemon is a subclass of
  23  IO::Socket::INET, so you can perform socket operations directly on it too.
  24  .
  25  The accept() method will return when a connection from a client is available.
  26  The returned value will be an HTTP::Daemon::ClientConn object which is
  27  another IO::Socket::INET subclass. Calling the get_request() method on this
  28  object will read data from the client and return an HTTP::Request object. The
  29  ClientConn object also provide methods to send back various responses.
  30  .
  31  This HTTP daemon does not fork(2) for you. Your application, i.e. the user of
  32  the HTTP::Daemon is responsible for forking if that is desirable. Also note
  33  that the user is responsible for generating responses that conform to the
  34  HTTP/1.1 protocol.
