Only negative numbers indicate an error. 0 is a normal socket, and usually just the first socket to be created. Fixes: starnight#9

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for you PR. The idea seems good.
However, left the coding style review comment. Besides, callers of HTTPServerInit() must handle the returned error from HTTPServerInit(). Otherwise, the application will be on weird state.
Using "exit" in a library isn't too great, depending on the application. In an embedded environment, where the application may have other functions, it's better to just return an error. Removes the use of "exit". Adds a return status to HTTPServerInit. Also adds protective checks in HTTPServerRun and HTTPServerClose, if these were called, despite HTTPServerInit failing (so socket was invalid). See: starnight#9

Fix: Library exits on "socket 0" error, #9
Contains two commits. The first fixes the actual problem (socket 0).
The second is a suggestion to avoid using "exit" in the libraries - and adds a return code and protective checks instead.
