|        ``domain_error(http_response_stream,Error)``
|    Thread workers are not available on this backend:
|        ``resource_error(threads)``

| **Remarks:**

    - Control term: The control term must be non-variable and should be fresh for each open-ended serving loop.
    - Option ``workers(serial)``: Serve accepted connections sequentially in the caller thread. This is the default.
    - Option ``workers(per_connection)``: Spawn one worker thread per accepted connection and wait for all workers when shutdown is requested. Requires backend thread support.
    - Option ``workers(pool(Size))``: Serve accepted connections using at most Size concurrent worker threads, waiting for worker completion notifications before accepting additional connections. Requires backend thread support.
    - Option ``workers(pool(Size, rolling))``: Alias for ``workers(pool(Size))``. Requires backend thread support.
    - Shutdown behavior: Calling request_shutdown/1 wakes the serving loop, stops accepting new connections, and waits for active workers to finish before the listener is closed and the serving loop returns.

.. index:: serve_until_shutdown/5
.. _http_transport_protocol/0::serve_until_shutdown/5:

``serve_until_shutdown/5``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Accepts and serves incoming connections on the given listener until ``request_shutdown/1`` is called for the specified control term, calling Ready after the shutdown control is registered and before the serving loop starts accepting connections.

| **Compilation flags:**
|    ``static``

| **Template:**
|    ``serve_until_shutdown(Listener,Handler,Control,Options,Ready)``
| **Meta-predicate template:**
|    ``serve_until_shutdown(*,*,*,*,0)``
| **Mode and number of proofs:**
|    ``serve_until_shutdown(+compound,+object_identifier,+nonvar,+list,+callable)`` - ``one_or_error``

| **Exceptions:**
|    ``Control`` is a variable:
|        ``instantiation_error``
|    ``Control`` is already registered for another open-ended listener loop:
|        ``permission_error(reuse,http_socket_transport_shutdown_control,Control)``
|    ``Options`` is a variable or a partial list:
|        ``instantiation_error``
|    ``Options`` is neither a variable nor a list:
|        ``type_error(list,Options)``
|    ``Options`` contains an invalid listener-serving option:
|        ``domain_error(http_socket_transport_listener_option,Option)``
|    ``Handler`` does not conform to the HTTP handler protocol:
|        ``domain_error(http_handler_protocol,Handler)``
|    The delegated HTTP server rejects the response stream:
|        ``domain_error(http_response_stream,Error)``
|    Thread workers are not available on this backend:
|        ``resource_error(threads)``

| **Remarks:**

    - Control term: The control term must be non-variable and should be fresh for each open-ended serving loop.
    - Ready goal: Called once after the shutdown control is registered and before the serving loop starts accepting connections.
    - Options: Supports the same worker options as ``serve_until_shutdown/4``.


------------

.. index:: request_shutdown/1
.. _http_transport_protocol/0::request_shutdown/1:

``request_shutdown/1``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Requests shutdown of an open-ended serving loop started with ``serve_until_shutdown/4`` or ``serve_until_shutdown/5`` for the specified control term and wakes any blocked accept call so the loop can terminate portably.

| **Compilation flags:**
|    ``static``

| **Template:**
|    ``request_shutdown(Control)``
| **Mode and number of proofs:**
|    ``request_shutdown(+nonvar)`` - ``one_or_error``

| **Exceptions:**
|    ``Control`` is a variable:
|        ``instantiation_error``
|    ``Control`` is not registered for an open-ended listener loop:
|        ``existence_error(http_socket_transport_shutdown_control,Control)``
|    Thread-backed shutdown is not available on this backend:
|        ``resource_error(threads)``

| **Mode and number of proofs:**
|    ``supported_websocket_scheme(+nonvar)`` - ``one_or_more``
