The HTTP::Daemon is a subclass of IO::Socket::INET, so +you can perform socket operations directly on it too. + +The accept() method will return when a connection from a client is available. +The returned value will be an HTTP::Daemon::ClientConn object which is another +IO::Socket::INET subclass. Calling the get_request() method on this object will +read data from the client and return an HTTP::Request object. The ClientConn +object also provide methods to send back various responses. + +This HTTP daemon does not fork(2) for you. Your application, i.e. the user of +the HTTP::Daemon is responsible for forking if that is desirable. Also note that +the user is responsible for generating responses that conform to the HTTP/1.1 +protocol. WWW: https://metacpan.org/release/HTTP-Daemon
