pauseClient

Introduction

The pauseClient method is an administrative endpoint that pauses outgoing network client operations. Specifically, it suspends both the NetworkClientManager and the StreamClientManager. This halts the node from actively making outbound connections or sending data through these client managers, without fully shutting them down or dropping existing data structures.

Request

The request takes no parameters. It can be made using either HTTP POST with an empty JSON body or HTTP GET.

Example POST Request

POST /pauseClient
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "method": "pauseClient",
  "params": {},
  "id": 1
}

Example GET Request

GET /pauseClient

Response

The response is a simple confirmation message indicating that the client operations are paused.

Result Structure

Example Success Response

{
  "result": "Network Client paused.",
  "id": 1,
  "error": null
}

Behavioral Notes

• Temporary Suspension: Pausing the client modules temporarily halts their background operations. This is useful during high-load internal tasks, testing, or specific network debugging scenarios.
• Reversible: To unpause the client operations, use the corresponding resumeClient method.
