Details

Note that there is no "HTTP" selection, as HTTP is not a transport protocol (TCP is the transport protocol required by HTTP). You make the socket accept HTTP connections by specifying the list of HTTP listening ports using the sock.httpportlist property or using the sock.httpmode property.

The program won't be able to change the value of this property when the socket is not idle (sock.statesimple <> 0 — PL_SSTS_CLOSED).
