Creating a HTTP Request Handler 

Procedure

To create an HTTP request handler, proceed as follows:

       1.      Call transaction SE24 (Class Builder) and create a class that represents the HTTP request handler.

       2.      Assign interface IF_HTTP_EXTENSION to the class that you have created.

       3.      Implement method HANDLE_REQUEST(). To do so, double-click on HANDLE_REQUEST().

       4.      To be able to access request and response data, use the interface IF_HTTP_SERVER as an argument of the method HANDLE_REQUEST().

       5.      If you want to process an incoming request in more detail, use the attributes FLOW_RC und LIFETIME_RC. These attributes are supported by the interface IF_HTTP_EXTENSION. You can use the method HANDLE_REQUEST() to fill the attributes with content.
