Modules: Handlers
Handlers are the Cherokee modules that actually manage the connections. You can specify what module actually must handle the connection for any given rule matched in your Virtual servers settings. Several are provided to perform a varied set of actions, though it is possible to develop homebrewed handlers easily once you grasp the basics of Cherokee's internal architecture.
