This is a simple interface for Xindice to allow documents to be retrieved via HTTP. 
It also allows you to execute XMLObjects, but this use is not currently documented.

Configuring Xindice:

1. Copy the xindice-http.jar file from the distribution lib directory 
   into $XINDICE_HOME/java/lib.

2. Add the HTTPHandler to your Xindice configuration. To do this you must edit 
   $XINDICE_HOME/config/system.xml.

   Right after the line that looks like

      <components class="org.dbxml.server.standard.StdComponentManager">
      
   You should add this line.      

      <component class="org.xmldatabases.http.HTTPHandler" name="HTTPHandler"/>

3. Start Xindice as usual and you should see the following show up among the 
   startup messages.

   Filter: 'HTTPHandler' added to filtering chain

   If you don't get this message double check your configuration.      

   
From here the server is ready. You can then retieve any document in the server
using a web browser pointed at http://localhost:4080 or whatever address you 
have for you Xindice installation. For instance to retrieve a document in the
addressbook collection named address1. You would type 
http://localhost:4080/db/addressbook/address1 into your web browser.
