IP Phone Administrator Guide
Non-Blocking HTTP Connections
The IP Phones support a non-blocking HTTP connection feature.
This feature
allows the user to continue using the phone when there is a delay during an
HTTP connection while the phone is waiting for the HTTP server to
respond.
This feature also allows a user to abort the connection and perform other
operations on the phone (which will abort the HTTP connection automatically). A
user can also abort the HTTP loading by pressing the GOODBYE key while the
phone is displaying “Loading Page.......”.
Authentication Support for HTTP/HTTPS Download Methods for
Broadsoft Client Management System (CMS)
The IP Phones have authentication support per RFC 2617 when using HTTP or
HTTPS as download protocols. If a 5i Series phone is challenged by an HTTP or
HTTPS server when the server attempts to download the
aastra.cfg file, the phone
automatically sends " aastra " as the default Username and Password back to the
server. For more information about this feature, see Chapter 5, the section,
“Authentication Support for HTTP/HTTPS Download Methods, used with
Broadsoft Client Management System (CMS)”
on page 5-365 .
Note: This feature impacts only the HTTP calls triggered by a phone key
(softkey or programmable key); the HTTP calls performed by action
URIs are still blocking.
