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.

CODE COVERAGE

I use Devel::Cover to test the code coverage of my tests, below is the Devel::Cover report on this module's test suite.
