+== NAME
+
+nng_http_server_release - release HTTP server instance
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+[source, c]
+-----------
+#include <nng/nng.h>
+#include <nng/supplemental/http/http.h>
+
+void nng_http_server_release(nng_http_server *server);
+-----------
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+The `nng_http_server_release()` releases an instance of an HTTP _server_
+that was previously held with
+<<nng_http_server_hold#,nng_http_server_hold(3)>>.
+
+This effectively drops the reference count on the server instance. When
+the reference count drops to zero, then the _server_ and all resources
+associated with it (e.g. HTTP handlers, connections, etc.) are deallocated.
+(If the server is "running" when this occurs, then the server is stopped.)
+
+WARNING: It is an error to release an instance of a server that has
+not previously been held, or to attempt to release an instance more
+times than it has been held.
+
+== RETURN VALUES
+
+None.
+
+== ERRORS
+
+None.
