method Server.prototype.listenAndServe
import { Server } from "https://deno.land/std@0.147.0/http/mod.ts";

Create a listener on the server, accept incoming connections, and handle requests on these connections with the given handler.

If the server was constructed without a specified port, 80 is used.

If the server was constructed with the hostname omitted from the options, the non-routable meta-address 0.0.0.0 is used.

Throws a server closed error if the server has been closed.

import { Server } from "https://deno.land/std@0.147.0/http/server.ts";

   "user-agent",
  ) ?? "Unknown"}`;

  return new Response(body, { status: 200 });
};

const server = new Server({ port, handler });
