How HTTP Routing Works
HTTP routing lets you use HTTP as an alternative to DCOM when communicating with the OpenROAD Server. It works as follows:
1. When a client specifies "http" as the routing parameter in the RemoteServer Initiate method, the RemoteServer instance transforms its normal DCOM calls into HTTP messages, and posts them to the HTTP URL specified in the location parameter.
2. The web server application, listening at that URL, recognizes those HTTP messages and transforms them back into DCOM calls to the OpenROAD Server.
3. The web server application then transforms the DCOM responses into HTTP response messages.
