== NAME
nng_http_handler_set_tree - set HTTP handler to match trees
== SYNOPSIS
[source,c]
----
#include <nng/nng.h>
#include <nng/http.h>
void nng_http_handler_set_tree(nng_http_handler *handler);
----
== DESCRIPTION
The `nng_http_handler_set_tree()` function causes the _handler_ to be matched if the request URI sent
by the client is a logical child of the path for _handler_, and no more specific
_handler_ has been registered.
This is useful in cases when the handler would like to examine the entire path
and possibly behave differently; for example a REST API that uses the rest of
the path to pass additional parameters.
TIP: This function is useful when constructing API handlers where a single
service address (path) supports dynamically generated children.
It can also provide a logical fallback instead of relying on a 404 error code.
