You can use this API to retrieve all the criteria that are specified for a URL in the service structure. The functionality is that of a standard Plex BlockFetch function.
You can use this to create your own service processor.
After retrieving one of the criteria that is specified for the URL - and finding the value of the criterion based on the request - you can use the FindOfferedService API to retrieve the service handler that corresponds to the criteria value.
