9.9 ListenHTTP

The ListenHTTP section declares a listener operating in plaintext HTTP mode. The section declaration begins with the keyword ListenHTTP optionally followed by a string supplying symbolic name for that listener, e.g.:

ListenHTTP "main"
  …
End

The symbolic name can be used in log messages (see ‘%{obj}N’) and in poundctl (see poundctl) requests to identify that listener. If the name is not supplied, the listener can be identified by its ordinal number (0-based) in the configuration file.
