Client stream parameters
The
handler
slot of a threaded server instance should be set to a quotation which handles client connections. Client handlers are run in their own thread, with the following variables rebound:
•
input-stream
•
output-stream
•
local-address
•
remote-address
•
threaded-server
An alternate way to implement client handlers is to subclass
threaded-server
, and define a method on
handle-client*
.
The two methods are equivalent, representing a functional versus an object-oriented approach to the problem.
