Poco HTTPServer

I am using Poco::Net::HTTPServer. I can set the port, but how can I set the listening interface/address? It defaults to 0.0.0.0

Poco::UInt16 port = 4000;
Poco::Net::ServerSocket socket(port);
Poco::Net::HTTPServerParams *pParams = new 
Poco::Net::HTTPServerParams();
pParams->setMaxQueued(100);
pParams->setMaxThreads(16);
Poco::Net::HTTPServer server(new HandleFactory(this->licenseServer),     socket, pParams);
server.start();
Solution

  • ServerSocket has a few versions of its constructor, instead of 

    ServerSocket(Uint16 port, int)

    you should use

    ServerSocket(
  const SocketAddress & address,
  int backlog = 64
);

    and construct SocketAddress passing first argument as IP address (it can be string object) and second argument as port:

    Poco::UInt16 port = 4000;
Poco::Net::ServerSocket socket(Poco::Net::SocketAddress("0.0.0.0",port));
