Configuring HTTP Server Options
See Also
The IDE uses the HTTP server to serve hypertext objects to clients of the IDE.
For example, the HTTP server is used to
create Javadoc pages and provide the pages
to the web browser for display.
To configure HTTP server options:
- In the Runtime window, right-click the HTTP Server node and choose Properties to open the property sheet.
- Alternately, choose Tools > Options from the main menu and click Advanced Options.
In the left pane of the Options window, expand IDE Configuration > Server and External Tool Settings > HTTP Server.
- Modify the HTTP server properties to your preferred settings.
- Close the window.
The HTTP server has the following properties:
- Hosts with Granted Access. Specifies the machines that are allowed
to access the HTTP server. You can type the host names or IP addresses directly
into the text field. Or, you can click the ellipsis button to open a dialog
box with the following elements:
- Any Host. This choice does not restrict access to the server.
- Selected Hosts. This choice restricts access so that only the
machine on which the IDE is running and the machines that you specify
in the Grant Access To text area are allowed access.
- Grant Access To. This text area accepts a comma-separated list
of machine names or IP addresses.
- Port. Specifies the port number on which the HTTP server operates.
- Running. (Read-only) If selected, the HTTP server is running. You can start or stop
the IDE's internal HTTP server by right-clicking the HTTP Server node in the Runtime window and
choosing Start/Stop HTTP Server.
- Show Grant Access Dialog. If selected, opens a dialog box when you ask
to allow access to the HTTP server from a host without granted access. If
unselected, access is automatically denied.
