Loop handlers
|
||
|
|
=============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Purpose
|
||
|
|
-------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Loop handlers are a special kind of HTTP handlers used when the
|
||
|
|
response can not be sent right away. The handler enters instead
|
||
|
|
a receive loop waiting for the right message before it can send
|
||
|
|
a response.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
They are most useful when performing long-polling operations or
|
||
|
|
when using server-sent events.
