Detailed Description

Handlers are components that could be used by components::Server to process the incoming requests.

All the HTTP handlers derive from server::handlers::HttpHandlerBase and override its methods to provide functionality.

See Userver Components for more information on how to register components.

Configuration

All the handlers inherit configuration options from their base classes:

• server::handlers::HandlerBase
• server::handlers::HttpHandlerBase

All the components, including handlers, also have the load-enabled option.

Static configuration example:

Here's an example of the full config for the server::handlers::Ping handle.

    handler-ping:
        # Options from server::handlers::HandlerBase
        path: /ping
        method: GET
        task_processor: main-task-processor
        max_request_size: 256
        max_headers_size: 256
        parse_args_from_body: false
        # auth: TODO:
        url_trailing_slash: strict-match
        max_requests_in_flight: 100
        request_body_size_log_limit: 128
        response_data_size_log_limit: 128
        max_requests_per_second: 100
        decompress_request: false
        throttling_enabled: false
        set-response-server-hostname: false
 
        # Options from server::handlers::HttpHandlerBase
        log-level: WARNING
 
        # Common component options
        load-enabled: true
