=== Description

The `create-http` subcommand creates a set of HTTP parameters for a
protocol, which in turn configures one or more network listeners. This
subcommand is supported in remote mode only.

[[sthref229]]

=== Options

asadmin-options::
  Options for the `asadmin` utility. For information about these
  options, see the link:asadmin.html#asadmin-1m[`asadmin`(1M)] help page.
`--help`::
`-?`::
  Displays the help text for the subcommand.
`--default-virtual-server`::
  The ID attribute of the default virtual server for the associated
  network listeners.
`--request-timeout-seconds`::
  The time in seconds at which the request times out. If you do not set
  this option, the request times out in 30 seconds.
`--timeout-seconds`::
  The maximum time in seconds for which a keep alive connection is kept
  open. A value of `0` or less means keep alive connections are kept
  open indefinitely. The default is `30`.
`--max-connection`::
  The maximum number of HTTP requests that can be pipelined until the
  connection is closed by the server. Set this property to `1` to
  disable HTTP/1.0 keep-alive, as well as HTTP/1.1 keep-alive and
  pipelining. The default is `256`.
`--dns-lookup-enabled`::
  If set to `true`, looks up the DNS entry for the client. The default
  is `false`.
`--servername`::
  Tells the server what to put in the host name section of any URLs it
  sends to the client. This affects URLs the server automatically
  generates; it doesn't affect the URLs for directories and files stored
  in the server. This name should be the alias name if your server uses
  an alias. If a colon and port number are appended, that port will be
  used in URLs that the server sends to the client.
`--target`::
  Creates the set of HTTP parameters only on the specified target. Valid
  values are as follows:

  `server`;;
    Creates the set of HTTP parameters on the default server instance.
    This is the default value.
  configuration-name;;
    Creates the set of HTTP parameters in the specified configuration.
  cluster-name;;
    Creates the set of HTTP parameters on all server instances in the
    specified cluster.
  standalone-instance-name;;
    Creates the set of HTTP parameters on the specified standalone
    server instance.

=== Operands
