-Publisher
----------

-What happens when an HTTP request is issued ?
-
-The story begins with the ``CubicWebPublisher.main_publish``
-method. We do not get upper in the bootstrap process because it is
-dependant on the used HTTP library. With `twisted`_ however,
-``cubicweb.etwist.server.CubicWebRootResource.render_request`` is the
-real entry point.
-
-What main_publish does:
-
-* get a controller id and a result set from the path (this is actually
- delegated to the `urlpublisher` component)
-
-* the controller is then selected (if not, this is considered an
- authorization failure and signaled as such) and called
-
-* then either a proper result is returned, in which case the
- request/connection object issues a ``commit`` and returns the result
-
-* or error handling must happen:
-
- * ``ValidationErrors`` pop up there and may lead to a redirect to a
- previously arranged url or standard error handling applies
- * an HTTP 500 error (`Internal Server Error`) is issued
-
-
-Now, let's turn to the controller. There are many of them in
-:mod:`cubicweb.web.views.basecontrollers`. We can just follow the
-default `view` controller that is selected on a `view` path. See the
-:ref:`controllers` chapter for more information on controllers.
-
-The `View` controller's entry point is the `publish` method. It does
-the following:
-
-* compute the `main` view to be applied, using either the given result
- set or building one from a user provided rql string (`rql` and `vid`
- can be forced from the url GET parameters), that is:
-
- * compute the `vid` using the result set and the schema (see
- `cubicweb.web.views.vid_from_rset`)
- * handle all error cases that could happen in this phase
-
-* do some cache management chores
-
-* select a main template (typically `TheMainTemplate`, see chapter
- :ref:`templates`)
-
-* call it with the result set and the computed view.
-
-What happens next actually depends on the template and the view, but
-in general this is the rendering phase.
