Hypertext Transfer Protocol
The show controller’s have a built-in HTTP server for serving web pages to remote web
clients. By default, the server is available on both Ethernet ports using TCP port 80. The
server can be disabled from one or both ports to prevent unauthorized access to this
service (see the section on Web Server Configuration).
File Names and Types
The show controller’s HTTP server was designed to respond quickly and efficiently
without interrupting the normal operation of the show controller. To ensure this, limits
have been placed on file names and types.
All file names used with the HTTP server must be in 8.3 format meaning 8 characters
followed by a ‘.’ then followed by up to 3 characters for a file extension.
Only the following file types may be used and must end with the appropriate file
extension as listed.
