shutdown-server

Demonstrates how to shutdown the web server in a couple of ways:

1. remotely, via http request
   • Created in response to actix/actix-web#1315
2. sending a SIGINT signal to the server (control-c)
   • actix-server natively supports SIGINT

Usage

Running The Server

cd shutdown-server
cargo run --bin shutdown-server

# Starting 8 workers
# Starting "actix-web-service-127.0.0.1:8080" service on 127.0.0.1:8080

Available Routes

• GET /hello
  • Regular hello world route
• POST /stop
  • Calling this will shutdown the server and exit
