Interface FredPluginHTTP

public interface FredPluginHTTP

Standard HTTP interface for plugins. Not very flexible. Use Toadlet's if you want to integrate with the main menu or want more flexibility. IMPORTANT NOTE TO IMPLEMENTORS: We strongly recommend you implement FredPluginThreadless as well, because if you do not we will have to register the plugin *before* calling runPlugin(). This means it won't be registered and you will probably get NPEs!
