It is supposed to examine the event and event data, and then do something appropriate. The probable action might be to schedule another event for the continuation to received, to open up a connection to a server, or simply to destroy itself. The continuation's handler function is a function of type :type:`TSEventFunc`. Its arguments are a continuation, an event, and a pointer to some data (this data is passed to the continuation by the caller - do not confuse this data with the continuation's own data, associated by :func:`TSContDataSet`). When the continuation is called back, the continuation and an event are passed to the handler function. The continuation is a handle to the same continuation that is invoked. The handler function typically has a switch statement to handle the events it receives: .. code-block:: c static int some_handler (TScont contp, TSEvent event, void *edata) { // ..... switch(event) { case TS_EVENT_SOME_EVENT_1: do_some_thing_1; return; case TS_EVENT_SOME_EVENT_2: do_some_thing_2; return; case TS_EVENT_SOME_EVENT_3: do_some_thing_3; return; default: break; } return 0; } .. caution:: You might notice that a continuation cannot determine if more events are "in flight" toward it. Do not use :func:`TSContDestroy` to delete a continuation before you make sure that all incoming events, such as those sent because of :func:`TSHttpTxnHookAdd`, have been handled. .. caution:: TS_HTTP_SEND_REQUEST_HDR_HOOK may callback several times when the OS crashed. Be careful to use functions such as TSContDestroy in TS_HTTP_SEND_REQUEST_HDR_HOOK hook.
