Examples

Start and stop server as you like:

# Init server with port 8080. Didn't set timeout means the server will run forever
let server = newHttpServer(8080)

server.start() # Start the server as a thread

# Do what you want

# You can check server status
echo server.status # prints true if running

server.stop() # Stop the server and close the socket

Set timeout to the server:

import NimpleHTTPServer

# Init server with timeout of 3 seconds
let server = newHttpServer(8080, 3)

server.start() # Start the server as a thread

# Do what you want
# After 3 seconds...
# Server stopped automatically

Join the server thread:

import NimpleHTTPServer

let server = newHttpServer(8080, 3)

server.start() # Start the server as a thread

# Do what you want

server.join() # Stop current thread and wait for the server
