How (where) to close the server?

[GOKOP]

I want to retrieve some information through a web server and then close it, but I don't really understand how am I supposed to do that. server.run() is blocking, so no code past this call ever executes. The only place I see where I could call server.close() is the request handler function, but that seems ugly because then it can't return a response

I had the same issue, I solved this by adding in server.py at the top:

shutdown_paths = []

Then at the bottom of _handle_request add:

  if uri in shutdown_paths:
    logging.info("Shutting down web server")
    stop()
    close()

You can then just add to your main.py:

server.shutdown_paths = ["/shutdown"]

Or whatever path you want to shutdown the server once it finishes. Then just visit /shutdown, and it should close the web server after it displays the page content.

I manage to close the server with the above method but with that code
if uri in shutdown_paths: logging.info("Shutting down web server") uasyncio.Loop.stop() uasyncio.Loop.close()

I did not like to modify "server.py" so instead I put in my main loop
server.add_route("/shutdown", handler = self.app_shutdown, methods = ["GET"])

def app_shutdown(self,request): import asyncio print("Shutting down web server") asyncio.Loop.stop() asyncio.Loop.close() return "SERVER CLOSED"

It's working and I can put code after server.run
server.run() while True : print("The program is still running...")

The message "SERVER CLOSED" appears when I stop my progran.
To be more clean I could return to a page of confirmation with a button to go to app_shutdown

I'm running a program that gathers every 15mn. During the time.sleep, the Phew server must be running to display the collected data. Thus the server must stop automatically after 14mn. I did it that way :

def get_meteo(self,request):
        stoptime = time.time() - self.starttime
        if stoptime > 60*14 :
            uasyncio.Loop.stop()
            uasyncio.Loop.close()
            uasyncio.Server.close()
            return 
        return meteo.loop()

def loop(self):
        self.wifi_networks = find_wifi()
        connect_wifi()
        self.starttime = time.time()
        server.add_route("/", handler = self.index, methods = ["GET"])
        server.add_route("/meteo", handler = self.get_meteo, methods = ["GET"])
        server.set_callback(self.catch_all)
        server.run()

The code ts not very clean because the "Task exception wasn't retrieved" but it works.
Unfortunately it works IF AND ONLY IF there is a request to the server.
Otherwise the server run forever (that's the bottom line of server.py).
I tried to modify the server.py code :
def run .......
# loop.run_forever()
loop.run_until_complete(awaitable)

But I don't understand what is the parameter to use.
It would be very nice to have a method def stopserver() :

I need help to solve that problem. Thanks in advance
