t.w.http : module documentation

HyperText Transfer Protocol implementation.

This is the basic server-side protocol implementation used by the Twisted Web server. It can parse HTTP 1.0 requests and supports many HTTP 1.1 features as well. Additionally, some functionality implemented here is also useful for HTTP clients (such as the chunked encoding parser).
