	)

virtual

Called when a request indicates a swtch to WebSocket protocol.

This will handle a WebScoket protocol change.

After the start up handshake has completed, if there is a notifier and it is non-null, then the notifier is called. The notifier, may then call connectInfo.ClearWebSocket() if it wishes to return to HTTP mode. That is, ProcessCommand() will return true and the normal persistence rules apply. If ClearWebSocket() is not called then ProcessCommand() will return false.

Note, that the latter case does not mean that the underlying socket is necessarily closed, it could subsequently be disconnected from the PHTTPServer objects and passed to PWebSocket for processing.

Returns: true if want to persist with HTTP connection.

Parameters

server	HTTP server that received the request
connectInfo	HTTP connection information

virtual void PHTTPResource::SendData ( PHTTPRequest & request )

virtual

Send the data associated with a command.

The default action is to call the virtual LoadData() to get a resource to be sent to the socket.
