admin_startHTTP

The startHTTP is an administrative method that starts an HTTP based JSON RPC API webserver to handle client requests.

The method returns a boolean flag specifying whether the HTTP RPC listener was opened or not. Please note, only one HTTP endpoint is allowed to be active at any time.

NOTE: This API replaces admin_startRPC. The admin_startRPC will be deprecated soon.
