SiteSubsection

Enables the URL to do navigatey things.

What it does

SiteSubsection uses URL-path information in HttpInteraction to pick a branch.

It assigns the next breadcrumb in the URL to branchname in the outgoing interaction, and chops that breadcrumb off of the URL. If this instance has a branch which has a name that matches with branchname, control will flow into that branch.

How it works

{
    instances = {
        afdeling = SiteSubsection() {
            // http://foo.bar/bekijk
            bekijk->Module(f"bekijk.conf@byurl");
            // http://foo.bar/bewerk
            bewerk->Module(f"bewerk.conf@byurl");
            // http://foo.bar/voegtoe
            voegtoe->Module(f"voegtoe.conf@byurl");
            // http://foo.bar/zoeken
            zoeken->Module(f"zoeken.conf@byurl");
            // http://foo.bar/
            main->Module(f"main.conf@byurl");
            // http://foo.bar/unforseen_consequences
            default->Module(f"messages.conf@notfound");
        };
    };
}

Settings

None whatsoever. Maybe SiteSubsection is ignorant, or maybe it's just tired of the world telling it what to do. We will never know.
