| //! In the standard implementation of http server, calling close is not guaranteed to close the | |
| //! server. Any idle connections being kept alive by clients will stay open until their timeout | |
| //! is reached. This is problematic for gracefully shutting down a process with an http server. | |
| //! This function will create an http server that tracks the open connections. On close, idle | |
| //! connections are closed and any newly idled connection is immediately closed as well. When there | |
| //! are no more connections on the server, the 'empty' event is raised. |
