start abstract method

Future<HttpChannel> start({
  1. dynamic address,
  2. int port = 8080,
  3. int backlog = 0,
  4. bool v6Only = false,
  5. bool shared = false,
  6. bool zoned = true,
})

Starts the server to handle the given channel. *

  • Notice that you can invoke start, startSecure and startOn multiple
  • times to handle multiple channels:
  • new StreamServer()

  •   ..start(port: 80)

  •   ..startSecure(context, address: "11.22.33.44", port: 443);
  • To know which channel a request is received, you can access
  • HttpConnect.channel.
  • Default: InternetAddress.anyIPv4 (i.e., "0.0.0.0").
  • It will cause Stream server to listen all adapters
  • IP addresses using IPv4.
    • port - the port. Default: 8080.
  • If port has the value 0 an ephemeral port will be chosen by the system.
  • The actual port used can be retrieved using HttpChannel.port.
    • backlog - specify the listen backlog for the underlying OS listen setup.
  • If backlog has the value of 0 (the default) a reasonable value will be chosen
  • by the system.
    • zoned - whether to start the server within a zone
  • (i.e., runZonedGuarded()). Default: true.

Implementation

Future<HttpChannel> start({address, int port = 8080, int backlog = 0,
  bool v6Only = false, bool shared = false, bool zoned = true});
