mi::http::ICGIRequest_handler Class Reference
[HTTP server]
Description
CGI request handlers are responsible for handling HTTP requests. CGI handlers are very similar to normal request handlers, but they will be called before any body data has been processed. They can then be used to consume the data by calling mi::http::IConnection::read_data() on the connection until all data is consumed.
For every request the handlers are asked if they are responsible for the request. They will be asked in the order they where added. If the handle() function of a handler returns true the subsequent handlers will not be asked anymore.
