<p>Start listening for connections over a clear TCP channel.</p>
<p>Both HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 are supported on this listener. HTTP/2 has two methods of establishing a connection over a clear TCP channel. Both the upgrade and the prior knowledge methods are supported.</p>
<h2 id="_arguments">Arguments</h2>
<dl><dt>Name</dt>
<dd><p>The listener name is used to refer to this listener in future calls, for example when stopping it or when updating the routes defined.</p>
<p>It can be any Erlang term. An atom is generally good enough, for example <code>api</code>, <code>my_app_clear</code> or <code>my_app_tls</code>.</p>
</dd>
<dt>TransportOpts</dt>
<dd><p>The transport options are where the TCP options, including the listener's port number, are defined. Transport options are provided as a list of keys and values, for example <code>[{port, 8080}]</code>.</p>
<p>The available options are documented in the <a href="../ranch_tcp">ranch_tcp(3)</a> manual.</p>
</dd>
<dt>ProtocolOpts</dt>
<dd><p>The protocol options are in a map containing all the options for the different protocols that may be involved when connecting to the listener, including HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2.</p>
<p>The HTTP/1.1 options are documented in the <a href="../cowboy_http">cowboy_http(3)</a> manual; and the HTTP/2 options in <a href="../cowboy_http2">cowboy_http2(3)</a>.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<h2 id="_return_value">Return value</h2>
<p>An ok tuple is returned on success. It contains the pid of the top-level supervisor for the listener.</p>
<p>An error tuple is returned on error. The error reason may be any Erlang term.</p>
<p>A common error is <code>eaddrinuse</code>. It indicates that the port configured for Cowboy is already in use.</p>
<h2 id="_changelog">Changelog</h2>
<ul><li><strong>2.0</strong>: HTTP/2 support added.
</li>
<li><strong>2.0</strong>: Function introduced. Replaces <code>cowboy:start_http/4</code>.
</li>
</ul>
