HTTP protocol parameters

To enable the HTTP protocol, add the HTTP subsection to the GATEWAY section of the configuration file.

The HTTP subsection can appear only once, or not at all. If it is specified in the configuration file then the protocol handler will be enabled. If the parameters are not configured correctly, for example: non-numeric characters used for the port numbers, or the port parameter is missing, then the Gateway will fail to start.

During start-up, if HTTP is configured then an APPLID and APPLID Qualifier must be specified otherwise the Gateway daemon will fail to start.

The syntax for the HTTP subsection is as follows:

SUBSECTION HTTP
   port=<number>
   bind=<name>
ENDSUBSECTION

Entries correspond to fields in the HTTP settings panel:

Table 1. HTTP protocol
Entry in the configuration file	Description
bind	Bind address
port	Port
