HTTP server
[Applications]

---

Detailed Description

A small web server with GET and POST support.

The HTTP server answers incoming requests by executing built-in modules. The request forms a so-called session and the modules are asked wether they can handle the session. If so, the module is responsible for sending an appropriate response back to the HTTP client. If a module is unable to handle the session, the next module is asked.

Once a module is found it is bound to the session and reexecuted whenever some of the data has been sent, so that the module can continue sending data.

When the complete response was generated, the module has to close the session and the HTTP connection will be shut down.
