All requests to the environment are made through IORequest objects:
- Telnet Client > Terminal > IOManager > IOHandler > API
Each client is specially coded to handle connections from a specific protocol. As an example, the telnet client interprets free form textual input from port 23 and packages it into an IORequest object. The IORequest is then forwarded to the Terminal.
A terminal is responsible for associating an account, character, and a client's connection status. IO code, and the rest of the environment api, know nothing of clients, but do understand terminals. The primary purpose of a terminal is to abstract actual client connects, be they through telnet, websockets, signalR, etc.
The IOManager is a message delivery service. It uses reflection at startup to register any classes that wishes to handle a particular message type (A child class of IORequest). During runtime the IORequest is forwarded to the classes that have registed for it' type.
Each IOHandler is responsible for interpreting the details of a terminal request, communicating with the API to gather information or possible restrictions against the request, and sending an IOUpdate in answer back to the terminal.
