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.

Callbacks

@todo Describe the callbacks.

Usage

@todo Explain how to use them.
