Request Selectors
A request selector is an object that can examine an HTTP request and determine whether the request meets some built-in or configured criterion. A series of request selectors can be grouped by And and Or connectors into Test Sets. Test Sets may be used by queue managers, queues, and subprocess pools to determine whether they can process a request.
