The TCPServerSocket interface provides an API to handle a persistent server that will listen for incoming connections on a given port.

Note: Only certified apps can accept incoming connections on a port below 1024.

interface TCPServerSocket{
  readonly attribute unsigned short localPort;
  void close();
  attribute onconnect;
  attribute onerror;
};

Properties

TCPServerSocket.localPort Read only
A number representing the port the server socket is listening to.

Events handler

TCPServerSocket.onconnect
A handler called when an incoming client connection is accepted.
TCPServerSocket.onerror
A handler called when the listen of a server socket is aborted.

Methods

TCPServerSocket.close()
Closes the server socket.
