HTTP

HTTP protocol.

WARNING

The HTTP protocol does not provide encryption for transmission and is not suitable for transmission over public networks, as it can easily be used as a target for attacks.

The more meaningful use of http inbound is to listen in a local network or on the local machine to provide local services for other programs.

TIP 1

http proxy can only proxy the TCP protocol and cannot handle protocols based on UDP.

TIP 2

In Linux, you can use the following environment variables to enable global HTTP proxy for the current session (many software support this setting, but some may not).

• export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8080/ (Change the address to the configured inbound HTTP proxy address)
• export https_proxy=$http_proxy
• :::

InboundConfigurationObject

{
  "accounts": [
    {
      "user": "my-username",
      "pass": "my-password"
    }
  ],
  "allowTransparent": false,
  "userLevel": 0
}

accounts: [AccountObject]

An array where each element represents a user account. The default value is an empty array.

When accounts is not empty, the HTTP proxy will perform Basic Authentication verification for inbound connections.

allowTransparent: true | false

When set to true, it will forward all HTTP requests instead of just proxy requests.

TIP

Enabling this option without proper configuration may cause an infinite loop.

userLevel: number

The user level that the connection will use to determine the corresponding Local Policy.

The value of userLevel corresponds to the value of level in the policy. If not specified, the default value is 0.

AccountObject

{
  "user": "my-username",
  "pass": "my-password"
}

user: string

The username. It is a string and is required.

pass: string

The password. It is a string and is required.
