"""Low-level protocol module for ashd(7)

This module provides primitive functions that speak the raw ashd(7)
protocol. Primarily, it implements the `req' class that is used to
represent ashd requests. The functions it provides can also be used to
create ashd handlers, but unless you require very precise control, the
ashd.util module provides an easier-to-use interface.

    """Represents a single ashd request. Normally, you would not
    create instances of this class manually, but receive them from the
    recvreq function.

    For the abstract structure of ashd requests, please see the
    ashd(7) manual page. This class provides access to the HTTP
    method, raw URL, HTTP version and rest string via the `method',
    `url', `ver' and `rest' variables respectively. It also implements
    a dict-like interface for case-independent access to the HTTP
    headers. The raw headers are available as a list of (name, value)
    tuples in the `headers' variable.

    For responding, the response socket is available as a standard
    Python stream object in the `sk' variable. Again, see the ashd(7)
    manpage for what to receive and transmit on the response socket.

    Note that instances of this class contain a reference to the live
    socket used for responding to requests, which should be closed
    when you are done with the request. The socket can be closed
    manually by calling the close() method on this
    object. Alternatively, this class implements the resource-manager
    interface, so that it can be used in `with' statements.
