HTTP server in POE with a twist

[Pedro Melo Cunha]

Hi,

I need to write a HTTP server that interacts with XMPP, using POE.

The problem is that after a HTTP request, I have to do some XMPP  
transactions and only after that I can generate the response.


From the PoCo::Server::HTTP docs, I don't seem to be able to put a  
request on hold, do some other stuff, and then generate the response,  
correct?


Anybody done something like this before?

Thanks,

In the content handler, return RC_WAIT instead of RC_OK,
this will delay the sending of the response.

When the $response object is filled and ready, call:
  $response-continue();

This will tell the server to send the response.

poe::stage usage

[Mathieu Longtin]

Hi,

I know Rocco has been pestering us to look at POE::Stage
for a while, so I finally did that. I am a bit confused, so
I'm going to explain how I understand it works, and you
tell me if I got it right.

$self-{req} is the request currently being handled. You
store all the intervening stages so that they dissappear if
you cancel the request mid-way. Is that right?

Is $self-{rsp} strictly there for the recall method?

Is this more or less like $kernel-call(stage1,
hello_world):

   $stage1-hello_world();

And lastly, if I do this:

   $stage1 = undef;

To which extent are all the pending requests of $stage1
cancelled? Is everything immediate? Will it close any
associate sockets right away? What happens if I still have
request object that involves $stage1? Do I need to define
DESTROY in my stages to clean up after them?

Thanks

-Mathieu

poe::stage and die

[Mathieu Longtin]

What does POE::Stage do when a method dies?
