True when Location represents the HTTP path to which the handler
with identifier ID is bound. Handler identifiers are deduced from
the http_handler/3 declaration as follows:
- Explicit id
-
If a term
id(ID) appears in the option list of the handler, ID
it is used and takes preference over using the predicate.
- Using the handler predicate
-
ID matches a handler if the predicate name matches ID. The
ID may have a module qualification, e.g.,
Module:Pred
If the handler is declared with a pattern, e.g., root(user/User),
the location to access a particular user may be accessed using
e.g., user('Bob'). The number of arguments to the compound term must
match the number of variables in the path pattern.
A plain atom ID can be used to find a handler with a pattern. The
returned location is the path up to the first variable, e.g.,
/user/ in the example above.
User code is advised to use http_link_to_id/3 which can also add
query parameters to the URL. This predicate is a helper for
http_link_to_id/3.
