PhantomJS - Web Server Module Properties

PhantomJS uses an embedded web server called mongoose. Right now, PhantomJS cannot connect with any other production webserver. With respect to connection, it can deal with 10 connections at a time and more than 10 requests will be waiting in a queue.

To start a webserver, we need to use the following syntax −

var webserver = require (‘webserver’);

Let us understand the Port property, which is used to listen to the requests that are sent to the webserver.

port

The Port property for a webserver is used to listen to the request that are sent to it.

Syntax

Its syntax is as follows −

var server = require('webserver').create();
var listening = server.listen(port, function (request, response) {});

Example

Let us take an example to understand how the port property works.

var webserver = require('webserver'); 
var server = webserver.create(); 
var service = server.listen(8080,function(request,response){  
}); 
if(service) console.log("server started - http://localhost:" + server.port); 

The above program generates the following output.

server started - http://localhost:8080
