HTTP Client

(HTTP Client add-on only)

 

Using the HTTP Client some features of !MC5 can be accessed using a web browser. To access the HTTP Client a user has to exist which is assigned to the HTTP Client group (see Create/edit a user).

 

Optionen_013

 

Enable HTTP Client

Activate this option to enable the HTTP Client server.

 

Server settings

 

Port

The port to use to access the HTTP Client add-on. The default is 8080. If this port is already used by another application it has to be changed.

 

Temp directory

The local directory in which the HTTP Client saves temporary files, e.g. file uploads for unfinished jobs. !MC5 needs write access for the specified directory. If left blank, !MC5 will use a sub directory inside the temp directory of the logged in user (default: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp). It is important to use a directory which doesn't contain any other files as the used directory will be cleared at program start.

 

Enable HTTPS

Activate this option to enable secure HTTPS connections to the HTTP Client server. If enabled, a certificate to use for encryption has to be added in the Server certificate box.

Only change server settings when no users are connected!

Changing the server settings will result in all currently connected user to get disconnected. Any not saved changed made by those users will get lost. The number of currently connected users is displayed below the option Enable HTTP Client.

 

ENGDAT settings

 

Decompress ENGDAT-GZip always on server

If enabled, received, compressed ENGDAT files will get decompressed on the host computer when being downloaded using the HTTP Client interface. Enable this if the HTTP Client is accessed using browsers that don't support HTTP deflate or use incompatible deflate algorithms.

 

Add suffix .tar to ENGDAT files containing Tar archive

When activated !MC5 will add the extension .tar to files names, if the corresponding ENGDAT file is stated to contain a tar archive.

 

Add on Email settings (Email add-on only)

 

The Email add-on can be used to send email notifications about newly received files containing links to those files. If using both HTTP Client and Email add-ons those file links can be redirected to the HTTP Client interface.

 

Active

Enables link substitution.

 

Host name

Select which host name should be used for file links. Retrieve interface URL dynamically will use the local IP address of the host computer (e.g. http://192.168.0.1:8080...). Alternatively a host name can be specified using the option Fixed interface URL.
