I think the situation right now is, you have to specify "http" on the command-line in order to get HTTP at all. The port used defaults to 8087, which can be overridden by specifying HTTPPort in the config file. I think Jason is proposing that the command line argument goes away, and HTTPPort defaults to None, so you _have_ to specify HTTPPort in your config file in order to get HTTP. If so, I like it. This also solves the problem of how exactly you are supposed to get HTTP if you are running as a Windows Service, in which case there are no command line arguments... (I had to do it by inserting a horrible hack into the source code). - Geoff ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
