Advanced Features Configuration Screen 2: HTTP Settings
This screen allows you to continue the configuration of the Advanced Features on this server, by
configuring the HTTP and HTTPS settings.
Figure 40. Advanced Features Configuration Screen 2
The HTTP module accepts requests via HTTP on a user-configurable port (default port is 80). Two
interface styles are supported via the network interface:
Browser Interface
: The “browser interface” style presents web pages to the user, who may
click buttons or enter text values in order to interact with the server.
Program Interface
: The “program interface” style accepts requests using a more traditional
HTTP GET/POST mechanism for presenting requests. Responses are returned wrapped in
XML and are designed for ease of parsing by software – not necessarily for ease of display.
The following options are available on this screen:
Enable HTTP
: When the HTTP server is disabled, it closes all open sockets so that the
network stack will not accept incoming HTTP connections. It also suspends itself so that the
HTTP thread will not run. When the HTTP server is enabled, it will wake up the HTTP thread,
which will open its sockets. If this feature is disabled, none of the other fields are editable.
HTTP Port
: The HTTP Port edit box allows the HTTP port number for this server to be set.
The HTTP port is the port on which the TCP/IP connection is made. The default is 80. The
valid range is 1 – 65535.
HTTP Host Name
: The HTTP Host Name edit box allows the HTTP Host Name for this
server to be set. The HTTP Host Name is the domain name of the system.
