39.1. HTTP resource

39.1. HTTP resource
	Chapter 39. HTTP - HyperText Transfer Protocol

The Abilis HTTP server allows to access to the web interface. Many but not all configurations can be done using web pages. Only the CP allows to configure each Abilis feature.

The Abilis HTTP server supports both PLAIN and SSL operations. The security level can be managed by:

Allowing access only to a restricted list of IP addresses;
Configuring http rights for users.

	Tip
	Refer to Section 39.6, “Appendix - HTTP” to have more information about HTTP.

39.1.1. Activating the HTTP resource

Add the resource to the Abilis system with the following command:

[12:25:41] ABILIS_CPX:a res:http

RES:HTTP ALREADY EXISTS

The HTTP resource may already exist in the system, but may not yet be active: set it active with the command:

[12:25:44] ABILIS_CPX:s act res:http

COMMAND EXECUTED

	Caution
	After adding or setting the HTTP active, you must restart the Abilis to make the resource running (use the command warm start to reboot the Abilis).

[17:14:59] ABILIS_CPX:s p http act:yes

COMMAND EXECUTED

[17:15:17] ABILIS_CPX:d p http
