(By default the +"GET" method is handled.) If _method_ is `NULL`, then the request method +is not examined, and the handler will be executed regardless of the +method. + +NOTE: The server will automatically call "GET" handlers if the client +sends a "HEAD" request, and will suppress HTTP body data in the responses +sent for such requests. + +NOTE: No validation of the _method_ is performed, but HTTP specifications +insist that the actual method sent over the wire be capitalized. + +The handler may always examine the actual method used using the +<<nng_http_req_get_method#,nng_http_req_get_method(3)>> function. + +== RETURN VALUES + +This function returns 0 on success, and non-zero otherwise. + +== ERRORS + +`NNG_ENOMEM`:: Insufficient free memory exists. +`NNG_ENOTSUP`:: No support for HTTP in the library. + +== SEE ALSO + +<<nng_http_handler_alloc#,nng_http_handler_alloc(3)>>, +<<nng_http_server_add_handler#,nng_http_server_add_handler(3)>>, +<<nng_http_req_get_method#,nng_http_req_get_method(3)>>, +<<nng#,nng(7)>> |
