6 Configuring HTTP Service
6.1 Overview
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is used to transmit Web page information on the Internet. It is at the application layer of
the TCP/IP protocol stack. The transport layer adopts connection-oriented Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is an HTTP supporting the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. HTTPS is
mainly used to create a secure channel on an insecure network, ensure that information can hardly be intercepted, and
provide certain reasonable protection against main-in-the-middle attacks. At present, HTTPS is widely used for secure and
sensitive communication on the Internet, for example, electronic transactions.
Protocols and Standards
RFC1945: Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.0
RFC2616: Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1
RFC2818: Hypertext Transfer Protocol Over TLS -- HTTPS
6.2 Applications
Users manage devices based on Web.
6.2.1 HTTP Application Service
Scenario
After the HTTP service is enabled, users can access the Web management page after passing authentication by only
entering http://IP address of a device in the browser of a PC. On the Web page, users you can monitor the device status,
configure devices, upload and download files.
Take the following figure as an example to describe Web management.
Users can remotely access devices on the Internet or configure and manage devices on the Local Area Network (LAN)
by logging in to the Web server.
According to actual conditions, users can choose to enable the HTTPS or HTTP service or enable the HTTPS and
HTTP services at the same time.
Users can also access the HTTP service of devices by setting and using HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1 in the browser.
