An AOLserver '''protocol driver''' would be conceptualy similar to a<br />
[[socket driver]] (it doesn't yet exist, but see [[nsftp]] in CVS), only it<br />
would opperate higher in the stack. Once the socket driver has accepted<br />
a connection and performed any transformations on the stream of bytes<br />
such as encrypting/decrypting, control would be handed to the '''protocol<br />
driver''' registered to handle that socket/port combo.<br />
<br />
The job of the '''protocol driver''' is to parse incoming requests and<br />
look up a proc to handle it using the ''method'' and ''URL'' as keys.</div>WikiSysop
