Determining the Request Type
The first step in the request-response cycle is to determine which request handler should handle the request. A cycle of the request-response loop begins when the WOAdaptor receives an incoming HTTP request. The adaptor object packages this request in a WORequest object and forwards this object to the application object in a dispatchRequest: message. The application object determines which WORequestHandler should handle the request with handlerForRequest:. (The request handler key in the request URL specifies which WORequestHandler should be used.)If the request is the first one for a given user session, the request URL looks like the URL shown in Figure 20.
