lib/Apache2/REST/Overview.pod  view on Meta::CPAN

The client performs a HTTP method on a resource uri.

L<Apache2::REST> splits the uri in fragments.

Apache2::REST builds a L<Apache2::REST::Handler> and let it handle the root fragment

Apache2::REST then writes the response back to the client with the appropriate writer.

If the response is written as a string (which is true for defaults writers),
this string is a unicode string encoded in UTF-8 bytes.

=head2 How a Apache2::REST::Handler works

If the requested resource is terminal, it performs the requested HTTP method (if allowed).

If the requested resource is not terminal, it solves the next fragment buy building
the next handler. By default, the next handler is a class one level down in the package
hierachy.

=head2 A request lifecycle example.
