How to use

1. Init the InternalHttpServer

 InternalHttpServer server = InternalHttpServer(
    title: 'Testing Web Server',
    address: InternetAddress.anyIPv4,
    port: 8080,
    logger: const DebugLogger(),
  );

2. Update your description with any HTML codes

define the description string

final String server_description = ''' Description:
        <ul>
          <li>
            You can put your <strong>webserver</strong> description here 
          </li>
          <li>
          It's support any <strong style='color:red'>HTML</strong>, you can describe what you want to say
          </li>
        </ul>

        How to use:
        <ul>
          <li>1. You can drag and drop the file here or click the 'Upload File' button  to upload</li>
          <li>2. It's support larger file</li>
          <li>3. You can upload multiple files once time</li>
        </ul>
       ''';

update to web server

server.setDescription(server_description);

3. Create two method to start and stop the server

startServer() async {
    server.serve().then((value) {
      setState(() {
        isListening = true;
        buttonLabel = 'Stop';
      });
    });
  }

  stopServer() async {
    server.stop().then((value) {
      setState(() {
        isListening = false;
        buttonLabel = 'Start';
      });
    });
  }

create a button to start and stop server

ElevatedButton(
  child: Text(buttonLabel),
  onPressed: () {
    if (isListening) {
      stopServer();
    } else {
      startServer();
    }
  },
),

also, you need to let user know what the IP address of your web server, so you should get the device IP as below and show the IP in your APP

Future<String> getCurrentIP() async {
    // Getting WIFI IP Details
    String currentIP = '';
    try {
      for (var interface in await NetworkInterface.list()) {
        for (var addr in interface.addresses) {
          print(
              'Name: ${interface.name}  IP Address: ${addr.address}  IPV4: ${InternetAddress.anyIPv4}');

          if (addr.type == InternetAddressType.IPv4 &&
              addr.address.startsWith('192')) {
            currentIP = addr.address;
          }
        }
      }
    } catch (e) {
      debugPrint(e.toString());
    }

    // print('currentIP========: $currentIP');
    return currentIP;
  }
