Handle FullHttpRequest with Action

[prophe05]

Hello! I use micro-services, and MessageQueue for interservice communication. So on end-point service I have deserialized FullHttpRequest instance from queue and requsted url. is there any possibillity in xitrum to handle my http request directly with action or something else?

This use case is currently not supported directly.
But there are some workarounds.

So basically you want an action to be called based on the FullHttpRequest instance.
The action will produce a response.
Do you want to also capture the response, or just throw it away?

Yes, I'm also interested in response...
I think one way is to use come kind of http client to connect to xitrum servers and send http request to it. For example netty Bootstrap with connect method...

I'm right?

Yes, I think for now you can do that.

In the future, Xitrum may expose its handler pipeline, and you can write your FullHttpRequest directly to the pipeline.
