Request object that represents the HTTP request.
@return true if the request was handled. A request washandled if a response was supplied to the client, typically by calling Request.sendResponse() or Request.sendError.
@throws IOException if there was an I/O error while sending the response to the client. Typically, in that case, the Server will (try to) send an error message to the client and then close the client's connection. The IOException should not be used to silently ignore problems such as being unable to access some server-side resource (for example getting a FileNotFoundException due to not being able to open a file). In that case, the Handler's duty is to turn that IOException into a HTTP response indicating, in this case, that a file could not be found.
