I don't mean there can't be 2 pen process in the system.
I mean pen can't be used on ftp, according to my comprehension.
Back to you question, I can configure 'pen' on port 80 for http request.
Meanwhile, I can configure it on port 8080 for http request.
Again, I can configure it on port 8888 for http request at the same time.
I don't know how to deal with such situation according to your assumption.
Should I add pen:http, pen:http8080, pen:http8888?
Or I just add an example as pen:http, and then ask user to do their own
instances when they need?
Thank you.
