.SH NAME
Opening/Closing \- 
An XIO handle with the http driver can be created with either \fBglobus_xio_handle_create()\fP or \fBglobus_xio_server_register_accept()\fP\&.
.PP
If the handle is created with \fBglobus_xio_server_register_accept()\fP, then an HTTP service handle will be created when \fBglobus_xio_register_open()\fP is called\&. The XIO application must call one of the functions in the \fBglobus_xio_read()\fP family to receive the HTTP request metadata\&. This metadata will be returned in the data descriptor associated with that first read: the application should use the GLOBUS_XIO_HTTP_GET_REQUEST descriptor cntl to extract this metadata\&.
.PP
If the handle is created with \fBglobus_xio_handle_create()\fP, then an HTTP client handle will be created when \fBglobus_xio_register_open()\fP is called\&. HTTP request headers, version and method may be chosen by setting attributes\&.
