Public Sub Start

Remarks

This method must be called before you call the GetContext method.

After you have started an HttpListener object, you can use the Stop method to stop it.

Note

If this listener instance uses https, you must install and select a Server Certificate. Otherwise, an HttpWebRequest query of this HttpListener will fail with an unexpected close of the connection. You can configure Server Certificates and other listener options by using HttpCfg.exe. See https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/http/http/httpcfg_exe.asp for more details.
