NAME¶
CGI::Application::Server - A simple HTTP server for developing with
CGI::Application
SYNOPSIS¶
use CGI::Application::Server;
use MyCGIApp;
use MyCGIApp::Admin;
use MyCGI::App::Account::Dispatch;
use MyCGIApp::DefaultApp;
my $server = CGI::Application::Server->new();
my $object = MyOtherCGIApp->new(PARAMS => { foo => 1, bar => 2 });
$server->document_root('./htdocs');
$server->entry_points({
'/' => 'MyCGIApp::DefaultApp',
'/index.cgi' => 'MyCGIApp',
'/admin' => 'MyCGIApp::Admin',
'/account' => 'MyCGIApp::Account::Dispatch',
'/users' => $object,
'/static' => '/usr/local/htdocs',
});
$server->run();
DESCRIPTION¶
This is a simple HTTP server for for use during development with
CGI::Application. At this moment, it serves our needs in a very basic way. The
plan is to release early and release often, and add features when we need
them. That said, we welcome any and all patches, tests and feature requests
(the ones with which are accompanied by failing tests will get priority).
METHODS¶
- new ($port)
- This acts just like "new" for
HTTP::Server::Simple, except it will initialize instance slots that we
use.
- handle_request
- This will check the request uri and dispatch appropriately,
either to an entry point, or serve a static file (html, jpeg, gif,
etc).
- entry_points (?$entry_points)
- This accepts a HASH reference in $entry_points, which maps
server entry points (uri) to CGI::Application or
CGI::Application::Dispatch class names or objects or to directories from
which static content will be served by HTTP::Server::Simple::Static. See
the SYNOPSIS above for examples.
- is_valid_entry_point ($uri)
- This attempts to match the $uri to an entry point.
- document_root (?$document_root)
- This is the server's document root where all static files
will be served from.
CAVEATS¶
This is a subclass of HTTP::Server::Simple and all of its caveats apply here as
well.
BUGS¶
All complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no exception. If
you find a bug please either email me, or add the bug to cpan-RT.
