I have started a basic HTTP Server as per the following tutorials:

#//PLUG MODULE FOR BANDIT  https://hexdocs.pm/plug/readme.html
defmodule MyPlug do
  import Plug.Conn

  def init(options) do
    # initialize options
    options
  end

  def call(conn, _opts) do
    conn
    |> put_resp_content_type("text/plain")
    |> send_resp(200, "Hello world")
  end
end

#//MAIN MODULE
defmodule ServerTest do

def startHttpServer do
    IO.puts("Try Start HTTP Server");
    webserver = {Bandit, plug: MyPlug, scheme: :http, port: 4000 }
    supervisorOpts = [strategy: :one_for_one ]
    {:ok, _} = Supervisor.start_link([webserver], supervisorOpts)
    IO.puts("Plug now running on localhost:4000");
    #Process.sleep(:infinity)
  end

end

This works, in that if I run the project and then ServerTest.startHttpServer() and go to localhost:4000 I get a “Hello world” back. But I am also getting this:

21:11:37.278 [error] GenServer #PID<0.554.0> terminating

21:13:32.629 [error] ** (Bandit.HTTPError) Header read socket error: :closed

What does this all mean? What is wrong with the above code? Thanks for any help.

I find it funny also because I haven’t started any GenServer, so I presume this is a GenServer being started by Plug/Bandit? What is the problem?
