@ -26,6 +26,9 @@ Use --addr to specify which IP address and port the server should
listen on, eg --addr 1.2.3.4:8000 or --addr :8080 to listen to all
IPs. By default it only listens on localhost.
If you set --addr to listen on a public or LAN accessible IP address
then using Authentication if advised - see the next section for info.
--server-read-timeout and --server-write-timeout can be used to
control the timeouts on the server. Note that this is the total time
