Is it possible to bind URI patterns to WebServices when using pion::net::WebServer class?
for example bind: /foo/(.*) to a pion::net::WebService instance
Since I needed this for a project (which is kwebforms, a KDE application under development for Kexi) and didn't look deeply at what pion supports I wrote a class extending pion::net::WebServer (which inherits from pion::net::HTTPServer).
But in order to do that I had to add virtual to the signature of bool HTTPServer::findRequestHandler and change
typedef std::map ResourceMap;
ResourceMap m_resources;
mutable boost::mutex m_resource_mutex;
visibility from private to protected.
These changes most likely will break the ABI.
If you want I can publish a small patch file and the sources of the extended class.
Don't know if you are interested in my patches and/or my changes are well-designed, I just hope they're useful :-)

Note that "resources" bound to services in the network library don't require an exact match, but rather a "root path" match. So,
/foo/bar
will trigger the service that is bound to the resource "/foo"
