Detailed Description

Represents a single route for HTTP requests at a server.

Member Function Documentation

exec()

virtual bool caf::net::http::route::exec ( const request_header & hdr, const_byte_span body, router * parent )

pure virtual

Tries to match an HTTP request and processes the request on a match.

The route may send errors to the client or call shutdown on the parent for severe errors.

Parameters

hdr	The HTTP request header from the client.
body	The payload from the client.
parent	Pointer to the object that uses this route.

Returns

true if the route matches the request, false otherwise.

Implemented in caf::detail::http_catch_all_route_impl< F >, caf::detail::http_route_base< Ts >, caf::detail::http_route_base< Ts... >, and caf::detail::http_simple_route_base.

init()

void caf::net::http::route::init ( )

virtual

Called by the HTTP server when starting up.

May be used to spin up workers that the path dispatches to. The default implementation does nothing.
