   package Net::Inspect::L7::HTTP;
   use base 'Net::Inspect::Connection';

DESCRIPTION

Net::Inspect::Connection provides a field expire, which should be set to the time, when the connection can expire, even if not explicitly closed.

It provides a function which will be regularly called from Net::Inspect::L4::TCP and Net::Inspect::L4::UDP on all known connections and if it returns true the connection will be deleted.
