The syntax of the server protocol definition file is somewhat like Objective-C (if you've ever used or seen that). A typical server request definition looks like this:

Thanks for the information, before sending the email I tried making
the DECL_HANDLER and used with SERVER_START_REQ but I was not aware of
the server/protocol.def so it was not working.

Thank you again, I guess now I can do it correctly. Basically it's the
