+"""Web Socket extension for Apache HTTP Server.
+
+mod_pywebsocket is a Web Socket extension for Apache HTTP Server
+intended for testing or experimental purposes. mod_python is required.
+
+Installation:
+
+0. Prepare an Apache HTTP Server for which mod_python is enabled.
+
+1. Specify the following Apache HTTP Server directives to suit your
+ configuration.
+
+ If mod_pywebsocket is not in the Python path, specify the following.
+ <websock_lib> is the directory where mod_pywebsocket is installed.
+
+ PythonPath "sys.path+['<websock_lib>']"
+
+ Always specify the following. <websock_handlers> is the directory where
+ user-written Web Socket handlers are placed.
+
+ PythonOption mod_pywebsocket.handler_root <websock_handlers>
+ PythonHeaderParserHandler mod_pywebsocket.headerparserhandler
+
+ To limit the search for Web Socket handlers to a directory <scan_dir>
+ under <websock_handlers>, configure as follows:
+
+ PythonOption mod_pywebsocket.handler_scan <scan_dir>
+
+ <scan_dir> is useful in saving scan time when <websock_handlers>
+ contains many non-Web Socket handler files.
+
+ Example snippet of httpd.conf:
+ (mod_pywebsocket is in /websock_lib, Web Socket handlers are in
+ /websock_handlers, port is 80 for ws, 443 for wss.)
+
+ <IfModule python_module>
+ PythonPath "sys.path+['/websock_lib']"
+ PythonOption mod_pywebsocket.handler_root /websock_handlers
+ PythonHeaderParserHandler mod_pywebsocket.headerparserhandler
+ </IfModule>
+
+Writing Web Socket handlers:
+
+When a Web Socket request comes in, the resource name
+specified in the handshake is considered as if it is a file path under
+<websock_handlers> and the handler defined in
+<websock_handlers>/<resource_name>_wsh.py is invoked.
+
+For example, if the resource name is /example/chat, the handler defined in
+<websock_handlers>/example/chat_wsh.py is invoked.
+
+A Web Socket handler is composed of the following two functions:
+
+ web_socket_do_extra_handshake(request)
+ web_socket_transfer_data(request)
+
+where:
+ request: mod_python request.
+
+web_socket_do_extra_handshake is called during the handshake after the
+headers are successfully parsed and Web Socket properties (ws_location,
+ws_origin, ws_protocol, and ws_resource) are added to request. A handler
+can reject the request by raising an exception.
+
+web_socket_transfer_data is called after the handshake completed
+successfully. A handler can receive/send messages from/to the client
+using request. mod_pywebsocket.msgutil module provides utilities
+for data transfer.
