== DESCRIPTION

The `nng_http_handler_set_data()` function is used to set an additional

Additionally, when the handler is deallocated, if _dtor_ is not `NULL`,
then it will be called with _data_ as its argument.
The intended use of
this function is deallocate any resources associated with _data_.

== RETURN VALUES
