A callback used to handle requests to a #SoupServer.
path and query contain the likewise-named components of the
Request-URI, subject to certain assumptions. By default,
#SoupServer decodes all percent-encoding in the URI path, such that
"/foo%2Fbar" is treated the same as "/foo/bar". If your
server is serving resources in some non-POSIX-filesystem namespace,
you may want to distinguish those as two distinct paths. In that
case, you can set the %SOUP_SERVER_RAW_PATHS property when creating
the #SoupServer, and it will leave those characters undecoded. (You
may want to call soup_uri_normalize() to decode any percent-encoded
characters that you aren't handling specially.)
query contains the query component of the Request-URI parsed
according to the rules for HTML form handling. Although this is the
only commonly-used query string format in HTTP, there is nothing
that actually requires that HTTP URIs use that format; if your
server needs to use some other format, you can just ignore query,
and call soup_message_get_uri() and parse the URI's query field
yourself.
See soup_server_add_handler() and soup_server_add_early_handler()
for details of what handlers can/should do.
