HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: How about SSL support

« on: April 29, 2009, 09:30:25 PM »

I modified hfs.ini in the hfs_80 folder.
Works for the moment...still testing.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: How about SSL support

I had one hfs (+ SavedOptions.vfs + template_xyz.tpl + hfs.ini) in
C:\Programme\hfs_443\hfs443.exe

and the other (w/o other files) in
C:\Programme\hfs_80\hfs80.exe

(Did not work)

I can try with additional files in the second folder. But w/o the hfs.ini, right?
Or do I have to modify the .ini manually?

I think we talk at cross-purposes. Maybe I have not made clear what I have already got and what's my problem. Sorry.

What I have got:
- a running stunnel connection
- a running hfs instance on port 44300 reached by https://mydynIP/

What I want to have:
- an additional instance of hfs which listens to port 80 and can be reached by http://mydynIP. This additional hfs:80 should only act as a start page with a link to my https://mydynIP/ for those people who forget to type the extra s in https. No other content should be accessible. Actual a simple html-page would be enough.

My poblem when I run two instances of hfs:
- if I change the VFS in one instance, it automatically changes the VFS of the other instance
- the same with the template. I cant run two different templates on the two hfs instances

I hope I could make it clear now.

  Hrhrhrrhr! OK, I've understood I would require hfs2.3 #236...

I've read your text again but still don't see what to do.

What does the code mean? (okok not urgently needed to know - if it works, hrhrhr)
Where do I have to put the code? In the template of the hfs:443 because it has something to do with the header of the stunnel/hfs?
And when I've added the code at the right place I can run two different hfs instaces (in seperated folders) with two different VFS ...that's it?

Still full of questions...I fear it will take us some time

I haven’t found any explanations for this but I thought it would be such a simple question no one else has needed to ask for

Surly I’m not the expert to solve this ‘problem’ if it’s necessary to create new code or stuff like that.
Maybe there will be a solution in the near future. I'll keep it in mind.

Thank u for your attention so far

Well I just wanted to have http://myserver:80/ as a "start page" without any content but a link to my https://myserver:443/

Am I wrong with my question?

Hiho!

I use hfs for about 1 year without bigger problems! Read a lot in this forum and found a lot of answers.
But now I need an advice.

A few days ago I installed stunnel. I used the explanation of Gees and the wiki, everything worked out well!
...exepct the forwarding from hfs:80 to hfs:443(stunnel).

To use hfs:80 for linking to hfs:443 I need to open 2 different instances of hfs, as I've learned.
So I've unchecked menu>start/exit>'Only 1 instance' and then tried two different ways for opening a second instance:
- just opened the same hfs.exe once again
- made a copy of the hfs-folder: C:\Programme\hfs\... and C:\Programme\copy of hfs\...

Even with the second way I ended with the same problem:
If I change something in one of the VFS it is changing in the other instance either. Same for the template...

Both instances are obviously not independent.
But isn't it necessary if i want to have two different hfs-contents (hfs:80 -> only a link to https; hfs:443 -> my files)?
What is my error in reasoning?
Can someone give me an advise for that?
Thank you!
