Internet Communication Framework (BC-MID-ICF)

Part of the Internet Communication Framework (ICF).

An ICF handler (or HTTP request hander) is an ABAP-00 class. It implements the interface IF_HTTP_EXTENSION. This interface contains the method HANDLE-REQUEST, which the ICF calls.

A URL identifies the handler, and the handler is then the destination for HTTP requests that use this URL. The handler is therefore activated when a HTTP request with this URL is received. The handler accepts the data, selects the program that will process the data, starts the program, and returns the response to the caller.
