HTTP transport collection

Use this page to view or manage HTTP transports. Transports provide request queues between WebSphere plug-ins for Web servers and Web containers in which the Web modules of applications reside. When you request an application in a Web browser, the request is passed to the Web server, then along the transport to the Web container.

To view this administrative console page, click Servers > Application Servers > server > Web Container > HTTP Transports.

Host

Specifies the host IP address to bind for transport. If the application server is on a local machine, the host name might be localhost.

Port

Specifies the port to bind for transport. The port number can be any port that currently is not in use on the system. The port number must be unique for each appserver instance on a given machine. For WebSphere Application Server for z/OS, a maximum of two http ports are allowed for each process.

SSL Enabled

Specifies whether to protect connections between the WebSphere Web server plug-in and an appserver with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). When a client browser issues a non-SSL HTTP call to a Web server, the Web server plug-in uses a non-SSL enabled port. When a client browser issues an SSL HTTP call to a Web server, the Web server plug-in uses an SSL enabled port.
