Processing HTTP Requests in the Work Process 

If the ABAP handler of the ICM receives the request, the following happens:

·        The ABAP handler puts the data of the request in the Memory Pipe and places a request in the dispatcher queue.

·        The dispatcher specifies a work process for the processing.

·        This work process executes a special ABAP report to run the initialization of the HTTP framework.

·        After the initialization the work process can take the request data (HTTP datastream) directly from the memory pipe and process it.
