HandlerFactory

[Source]

The TCP connections that underlie HTTP sessions get created within the http package at times that the application code can not predict. Yet, the application code has to provide custom hooks into these connections as they are created. To accomplish this, the application code provides an instance of a class that implements this interface.

The HandlerFactory.apply method will be called when a new HTTPSession is created, giving the application a chance to create an instance of its own HTTPHandler. This happens on both client and server ends.

interface ref HandlerFactory

Public Functions

apply

[Source]

Called by the HTTPSession when it needs a new instance of the application's HTTPHandler. It is suggested that the session value be passed to the constructor for the new HTTPHandler so that it is available for making throttle and unthrottle calls.

fun box apply(
  session: HTTPSession tag)
: HTTPHandler ref^
