Hands-On RESTful Python Web Services - Second Edition

Mapping URL patterns to request handlers

The following table shows the method of our previously created HTTP handler classes that we want to be executed for each combination of HTTP verb and scope:

HTTP verb	Scope	Class and method
GET	Altimeter	AltimeterHandler.get
GET	Hexacopter	HexacopterHandler.get
PATCH	Hexacopter	HexacopterHandler.patch
GET	LED	LedHandler.get
PATCH	LED	LedHandler.patch
