Function listenHTTP
Starts a HTTP server listening on the specified port.
request_handler
will be called for each HTTP request that is made. The
res parameter of the callback then has to be filled with the response
data.
request_handler
can be either HTTPServerRequestDelegate
/HTTPServerRequestFunction
or a class/struct with a member function 'handleRequest' that has the same
signature.
Note that if the application has been started with the --disthost command line
switch, listenHTTP
() will automatically listen on the specified VibeDist host
instead of locally. This allows for a seamless switch from single-host to
multi-host scenarios without changing the code. If you need to listen locally,
use listenHTTPPlain() instead.
