+Custom Apprise HTTP Handlers with format= Parameter Support
+
+IMPORTANT: This module works around a limitation in Apprise's @notify decorator.
+
+THE PROBLEM:
+-------------
+When using Apprise's @notify decorator to create custom notification handlers, the
+decorator creates a CustomNotifyPlugin that uses parse_url(..., simple=True) to parse
+URLs. This simple parsing mode does NOT extract the format= query parameter from the URL
+and set it as a top-level parameter that NotifyBase.__init__ can use to set notify_format.
+
+As a result:
+1. URL: post://example.com/webhook?format=html
+2. Apprise parses this and sees format=html in qsd (query string dictionary)
+3. But it does NOT extract it and pass it to NotifyBase.__init__
+4. NotifyBase defaults to notify_format=TEXT
+5. When you call apobj.notify(body="<html>...", body_format="html"):
+   - Apprise sees: input format = html, output format (notify_format) = text
+   - Apprise calls convert_between("html", "text", body)
+   - This strips all HTML tags, leaving only plain text
+6. Your custom handler receives stripped plain text instead of HTML
+
+THE SOLUTION:
+-------------
+Instead of using the @notify decorator directly, we:
+1. Manually register custom plugins using plugins.N_MGR.add()
+2. Create a CustomHTTPHandler class that extends CustomNotifyPlugin
+3. Override __init__ to extract format= from qsd and set it as kwargs['format']
+4. Call NotifyBase.__init__ which properly sets notify_format from kwargs['format']
+5. Set up _default_args like CustomNotifyPlugin does for compatibility
+
+This ensures that when format=html is in the URL:
+- notify_format is set to HTML
+- Apprise sees: input format = html, output format = html
+- No conversion happens (convert_between returns content unchanged)
+- Your custom handler receives the original HTML intact
+
+TESTING:
+--------
+To verify this works:
+>>> apobj = apprise.Apprise()
+>>> apobj.add('post://localhost:5005/test?format=html')
+>>> for server in apobj:
+...     print(server.notify_format)  # Should print: html (not text)
+>>> apobj.notify(body='<span>Test</span>', body_format='html')
+# Your handler should receive '<span>Test</span>' not 'Test'
