Stop httpServer

Posted on
  • Hello,

    Is there an event to turn off an http server?

    var server=http.createServer(...)
    

    This doesn't seem to work even though it looks documented (httpSrv class):

    server.close();
    

    Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

  • .close should work - however you might be having troubles if you haven't called server.listen(port) first I guess?

    What device are you using?

    From your post history it seems like you may be using ESP32, in which case I guess there's a small chance that .close is buggy? I'm pretty sure it's been tested to death on official Espruino boards so I'd be very surprised if there was any trouble on those.

  • Thanks for the reply Gordon. Yes it's for an ESP32 (ESP-WROOM-32) with Espruino build 1v94. Here's the full example where I get an error.

    var http = require('http');
    
    var server=http.createServer(function(req, res){
        res.writeHead(200);
        res.end("Hello World");
        console.log("res sent");
    }).listen(80);
    
    setTimeout(function(){
        server.close();
    },5000);
    

    And the error message I get

    Uncaught Error: Field or method "close" does not already exist, and can't create it on undefined
     at line 1 col 7
    server.close();
          ^
    

    The webserver continues to work before and after the error. I tried this on an ESP8226 and get the same error also.

    Again, any help is very much appreciated.

  • Hi @cmo!

    I am affraid that listen() returns nothing (unlike the node.js' one). I have submitted a new bug for this.

    In the meantime the code would need to look as follows:

    var http = require('http');
    var server=http.createServer(function(req, res){
            res.writeHead(200);
            res.end("Hello World");
            console.log("res sent");
    });
    server.listen(80);
    setTimeout(function(){
            server.close();
    },5000);
    
  • It's fixed now.

    But PLEASE - there's a massive heading right at the top of the forum. This bit of the forum is for official boards ONLY. There's an ESP32 forum here: http://forum.espruino.com/microcosms/108­6/

    It may seem petty but I support myself purely off of Espruino board sales - and as a way to convince people to buy my boards I offer support to them on these sections of the forum.

  • Thank you @Gordon, that was fast! :)

  • Thank you. I agree, I put this in the wrong forum.
