Using the HTTP server

Configuration

The HTTP comes with a couple of additional variables:

• supybot.servers.http.host: The host the bot will bind. In most of the cases, you will use 0.0.0.0 (everything) or 127.0.0.1 (restricted to local connections). Defaults to 0.0.0.0
• supybot.servers.http.port: The port the bot will bind. May not work if the number is too low. Defaults to 8080 (alternative HTTP port).
• supybot.servers.http.keepAlive: Determines weather the HTTP server will run even if has nothing to serve. Defaults to False, because the HTTP might require to change the port, if it is already taken.

Using the server

At the root of the server, you will find a list of the plugins that have a Web interface, and a link to them. Each plugin has its own subdirectory(ies).

You may also want to have Apache behind Supybot's HTTP server, if you want to use subdomains. Here is an example of configuration (I didn't test it with the rewrite, please notify me whether it works or not):

<VirtualHost 0.0.0.0:80>
    ServerName stats.yourdomain.org
    <Location />
            ProxyPass http://localhost:8080/webstats/
            SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1
            SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1
            RewriteEngine On
            RewriteRule ^/webstats/(.*)$ /$1
    </Location>
</VirtualHost>
