# Start an App from a Browser Example
The following example illustrates how to configure the Anypoint Connector for HTTP (HTTP Connector) **Listener** source to initiate a flow. In this example, the HTTP **Listener** source listens on a specific port for every network interface on the server. Then, the **Logger** component logs the message `Hello`. To accomplish this example, you must create the Mule app, configure an HTTP global element, run, and test the app with curl commands.
The following screenshot shows the Anypoint Studio app flow for this example:
## Create the Mule Application
To create the Mule flow:
  1. In the **Mule Palette** view, select the HTTP **Listener** source and drag it on to the canvas. The source initiates the flow by listening for incoming HTTP message attributes.
  2. On the **Listener** configuration screen, optionally change the value of the **Display Name** field.
  3. Set the **Path** field to `/trigger` to start the app from the web browser.
  4. Click the plus sign (**+**) next to the **Connector configuration** field to configure a global element that can be used by all instances of the HTTP **Listener** in the app.
  5. On the **General** tab, configure the following fields:
     * **Host** `All Interfaces [0.0.0.0] (default)`
  6. Drag a **Logger** component to the right of HTTP **Listener**.
  7. In the **Logger** configuration screen, set the **Message** field to `Hello`.
  8. Save your Mule app.
  9. Click the project name in **Package Explorer** and then click **Run** > **Run As** > **Mule Application**. Ensure that the console messages state that the application started correctly by looking at the message `Mule is up and kicking`.
  10. Open a browser and type `http://0.0.0.0:8081/trigger`. The HTTP **Listener** source listens to the request on port `8081`, and the app starts.
  11. In the Studio Console, scroll through the logs to see the `Hello` message, for example:


```
INFO 2020-01-02 13:00:00,438 [[MuleRuntime].cpuLight.15: [http].httpFlow.CPU_LITE @169a1097]
 [event: id] org.mule.runtime.core.internal.processor.LoggerMessageProcessor: Hello
```

## XML for Starting an App from a Browser
Paste this code into your Studio XML editor to quickly load the flow for this example into your Mule app:
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mule xmlns:http="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http" xmlns="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core"

	</flow>
</mule>
```
