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