How can I use the http_server package to serve several virtual web apps in Dart?

Question

In Dart language, the http_server package allows to implement virtual hosts.

import 'package:http_server/http_server.dart';
import 'dart:io';

void main() {

   HttpServer.bind('localhost', 8080).then((server) {
        var virtualServer = new VirtualHost(server);
          virtualServer.addHost('domain1.com').listen(
             (HttpRequest request) {
                //  what should I do now?
             }
   });

}

How can I serve a web site in a subdirectory below /web/ using the http_server package?
Is it best to place the web sites below the usual "web" directory?

You can do :

import 'dart:io';

import 'package:http_server/http_server.dart';

void main() {
  HttpServer.bind('localhost', 8080).then((server) {
    final virtualServer = new VirtualHost(server);
    final domain1Stream = virtualServer.addHost('domain1.com');
    new VirtualDirectory('/var/www/domain1').serve(domain1Stream);
  });
}

Thanks, Alexandre! The following complements your answer, i.e., serving both static and dynamic resources: [How to use Dart http_server:VirtualDirectory](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20295603/how-to-use-dart-http-servervirtualdirectory/20320506#20320506) – HelpfulPanda Jan 13 '14 at 22:54
And how we can combine this with Router ? – Druxtan May 07 '14 at 10:43

Yes it's possible. See https://github.com/ggirou/risk/blob/master/bin/main.dart#L20-L43 – Alexandre Ardhuin May 07 '14 at 17:41
I would say combine with VirtualServer – Druxtan May 08 '14 at 11:50
You can use `router.defaultStream.listen(vDir.serveRequest)`. – Alexandre Ardhuin May 08 '14 at 11:53
If you don't see what I mean feel free to ask a new SO question. – Alexandre Ardhuin May 08 '14 at 11:54
My problem is not to server a static file directory. By example, I would use ws.mydomain.com for serve websocket. – Druxtan May 08 '14 at 11:56
`virtualServer.addHost('ws.mydomain.com').listen(WebSocketTransformer.upgrade).then((ws) => ...)` ? – Alexandre Ardhuin May 08 '14 at 12:08
