+// logHandler handles HTTP requests for log buffer operations.
+// It supports two HTTP methods:
+// - GET: Retrieves the content of in-memory log and sends it back to the client as plain text.
+// - DELETE: Clear the in-memory log buffer.
+//
+// The function expects a valid http.ResponseWriter and an http.Request as parameters.
+// For a GET request, it reads the log from in-memory buffer and writes
+// the content to the response writer with a "text/plain" content type.
+//
+// For a DELETE request, it clears the in-memory buffer.
+//
+// For any other HTTP method, it responds with an HTTP 400 (Bad Request) status.
+//
+// Parameters:
+// - w http.ResponseWriter: The response writer to write the HTTP response to.
+// - r *http.Request: The HTTP request object containing the request details.
+//
+// No return values are provided since the function writes directly to the response writer.
