\class THttpServer
\brief Online http server for arbitrary ROOT application
\note This class provides HTTP access to ROOT objects. The user is entirely responsible for the security of the server.
It is strongly recommended to use the server only within an isolated network
or to enable proper authentication to prevent unauthorized remote access.
 
Idea of THttpServer - provide remote http access to running
ROOT application and enable HTML/JavaScript user interface.
Any registered object can be requested and displayed in the browser.
There are many benefits of such approach:
 
1. standard http interface to ROOT application
2. no any temporary ROOT files when access data
3. user interface running in all browsers
 
To start http server simply create instance
of the THttpServer class like:
 
    serv = new THttpServer("http:8080");
 
This will starts civetweb-based http server with http port 8080.
Than one should be able to open address "http://localhost:8080"
in any modern web browser (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, ...) and browse objects,
created in ROOT application. By default, server can access files,
canvases and histograms via `gROOT` pointer. All such objects
can be displayed with JSROOT graphics.
 
At any time one could register other objects with the command:
 
    TGraph* gr = new TGraph(10);
    gr->SetName("gr1");
    serv->Register("graphs/subfolder", gr);
 
If objects content is changing in the application, one could
enable monitoring flag in the browser - than objects view
will be regularly updated.

/// constructor
///
/// As argument, one specifies engine kind which should be
/// created like "http:8080". One could specify several engines
/// at once, separating them with semicolon (";"). Following engines are supported:
///
///     http     - TCivetweb, civetweb-based implementation of http protocol
///     fastcgi  - TFastCgi, special protocol for communicating with web servers
///
/// For each created engine one should provide socket port number like "http:8080" or "fastcgi:9000".
/// Additional engine-specific options can be supplied with URL syntax like "http:8080?thrds=10".
/// Full list of supported options should be checked in engines docu.
///
/// One also can configure following options, separated by semicolon:
///
///     readonly, ro   - set read-only mode (default)
///     readwrite, rw  - allows methods execution of registered objects
///     global         - scans global ROOT lists for existing objects (default)
///     noglobal       - disable scan of global lists
///     cors           - enable CORS header with origin="*"
///     cors=domain    - enable CORS header with origin="domain"
///     basic_sniffer  - use basic sniffer without support of hist, gpad, graph classes
