Nirvana supports the concept of plugins that actively
process client requests made to nhp and nhps interfaces.
There are currently 4 plugins, File (Web Server like
behaviour), XML (Browse channels, queues and events
in XML), SOAP (Browse channels, queues and events using
SOAP protocol) and Proxy Passthrough (Enable http/s
requests for specific urls to be forwarded to another
host:port).
The plugins are discussed in more detail in the plugins
section of this guide.
