NAME
HTTP::Server::Simple::Recorder - Mixin to record HTTP::Server::Simple's sockets

SYNOPSIS
    package MyServer;
    use base qw/HTTP::Server::Simple::Recorder HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI/;

    sub recorder_prefix { "path/to/logs/record" }  # defaults to /tmp/http-server-simple-recorder

    # logs to path/to/logs/record.34244.1.in,
    #         path/to/logs/record.34244.1.out,
    #         path/to/logs/record.34244.2.in,
    #         path/to/logs/record.34244.2.out, etc, if 34244 is the PID of the server

DESCRIPTION
This module allows you to record all HTTP communication between an HTTP::Server::Simple-derived server and its clients. It is a mixin, so it doesn't itself subclass HTTP::Server::Simple; you need to subclass from both HTTP::Server::Simple::Recorder and an actual HTTP::Server::Simple subclass, and HTTP::Server::Simple::Recorder should be listed first.

Every time a client connects to your server, this module will open a pair of files and log the communication between the file and server to these files. Each connection gets a serial number starting at 1. The filename used is "<$self-"recorder_prefix>>, then a period, then the connection serial number, then a period, then either "in" or "out". "recorder_prefix" defaults to "/tmp/http-server-simple-recorder", but you can override that in your subclass. For example, you might want to include the process ID.

DEPENDENCIES
IO::Tee, HTTP::Server::Simple.
