+If set to 1 enables experimental HTTP server. This can be used to send data when

+an input option.
+@example
+# Server side (sending):
+ffmpeg -i somefile.ogg -c copy -listen 1 -f ogg http://@var{server}:@var{port}

+# Client side (receiving):
+ffmpeg -i http://@var{server}:@var{port} -c copy somefile.ogg

+# Client can also be done with wget:
