\usage{
service(timeoutMs = ifelse(interactive(), 100, 1000))
}
\arguments{
\item{timeoutMs}{Approximate number of milliseconds to run before returning.
It will return this duration has elapsed. If 0 or Inf, then the function
will continually process requests without returning unless an error occurs.
If NA, performs a non-blocking run without waiting.}
}
\description{
Process HTTP requests and WebSocket messages. If there is nothing on R's call
stack -- if R is sitting idle at the command prompt -- it is not necessary to
call this function, because requests will be handled automatically. However,
if R is executing code, then requests will not be handled until either the
call stack is empty, or this function is called (or alternatively,
\code{\link[later]{run_now}} is called).
}
\details{
In previous versions of httpuv (1.3.5 and below), even if a server created by
\code{\link{startServer}} exists, no requests were serviced unless and until
\code{service} was called.
This function simply calls \code{\link[later]{run_now}()}, so if your
application schedules any \code{\link[later]{later}} callbacks, they will be
invoked.
