Turn the default R help HTTP server into a RJSONp SciViews server (while still serving help pages, of course).
start_http_server(port = http_server_port(), name = http_server_name())
startHttpServer(port = http_server_port(), name = http_server_name())Arguments
- port
port on which the server should run (both help and SciViews). By default, it is port 8888. Note that this server runs only locally and can only serve requests from 127.0.0.1 (because communication is not crypted).
- name
the name given to the SciViews server. By default, it is
R.
Value
An integer indicating the port used.
