/// stores request and response as member variables to avoid having
/// to pass them around as method parameters. Additionally, a
/// HTMLForm object is created for use by subclasses.
///
/// The run() method must perform the complete handling
/// of the HTTP request connection. As soon as the run()
/// method returns, the request handler object is destroyed.
///
/// A new AbstractHTTPRequestHandler object will be created for
/// each new HTTP request that is received by the HTTPServer.

/// If run() throws an exception and the response has not been
