Server.listen

Attempts to set up server to listen for connections on address.

If options includes [soup.types.ServerListenOptions.Https], and server has been configured for TLS, then server will listen for https connections on this port. Otherwise it will listen for plain http.

You may call this method (along with the other "listen" methods) any number of times on a server, if you want to listen on multiple ports, or set up both http and https service.

After calling this method, server will begin accepting and processing connections as soon as the appropriate [glib.main_context.MainContext] is run.

Note that this API does not make use of dual IPv4/IPv6 sockets; if address is an IPv6 address, it will only accept IPv6 connections. You must configure IPv4 listening separately.

Returns

true on success, false if address could not be

bound or any other error occurred (in which case error will be set).

Throws
