Re: [Savonet-users] HTTP Input

In addition to that, you can always start and stop a source from a
script by tapping into the server commands as well:

s = input.http(...)

def stop() =
  ignore(server.execute("#{source.id(s)}.stop"))
end

def start() =
  ignore(server.execute("#{source.id(s)}.start"))
end

This should work regardless of whether or not you have enabled telnet
or socket access.
