Redirecting to port 8080
« on: January 04, 2021, 04:38:39 am »
Is there any problem in doing this?
I run a FCGI webmodule. What it does is just to redirect to localhost:8080, with paths.  HTTPServer application will respond to port 8080.

There should be no problem* but, cannot your main server do the redirection w/out having to launch/call a (F)CGI?

* That is, other than normal security things like, say, an attacker trying to find (and access) a server at the alternate port.

Probably IIS may be able to do that. Up to now, my server is used only by limited uses, and running CGI. No problem yet, but I have to think about other ways. I'm not a proper software scientist or engineer. Just to show that my idea runs successfully^^
